Thanks for reaching out about Bella and including photos. Hyper-salivation can be the result of dental disease, ingestion of toxic material and other problems. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. The sooner the visit, the better the prognosis. Try and provide water via a syringe for now. Good luck.
