My dog is drooling excessively after sneezing, but seems fine. Vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 9 years and 1 month old | 65 lbs

My dog started having excessive saliva come from her mouth about a hour ago after a sneeze attack. I looked in her mouth, did a finger swoop to check if anything was lodged in her throat and felt her neck/throat. I can’t tell for sure but her throat may be swollen. She is perfectly fine other than that, playing, chewing, running, and eating. When should I call a vet or take her to the vet?

If Jada continues to have excess salivation through to the morning, or starts coughing, has a loss of appetite, vomits, keeps sneezing, or becomes lethargic, then I would take her into the vet. Best of luck.
