I am fostering a 10 yr old Male yellow Lab. We were in the country for the weekend. He has started drooling about an hour ago and just can't stop. Is there anything I can do for him???

Poor Ruger! He could be painful or nauseous. Try feeding him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts a couple of times a day. If this helps the drooling, feed him the bland diet for a couple of days, and then start adding back in his normal diet. Should the drooling continue on the bland diet, then I would take him into the vet. I hope this helps!
