Drooling can be a sign of pain or nausea. IF she is feeling bad then she may need to see your vet. they can check her mouth and teeth for any wounds or sores or abscesses or look for any pain anywhere else. If she is not eating or having diarrhea, then that is a sign it is from nausea and they can provide medicine for that. You can try boiled chicken and rice to see if she is interested in that food and see how she handles that.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Drooling is often a sign of nausea which you may observe with conditions such as pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, gastrointestinal foreign body ingestion and obstruction, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good day!
