What does it mean if a dog drools a lot . My bongo has been drooling since yesterday. Not excessive but way more than he used to do . I know he drools when he sees food but this ones different . Could you elaborate ?

Check his mouth and check for injuries, ulcers, a bad smell, lots of tartar on his teeth. All these problems will cause a dog to drool. Nausea also can cause drooling, having eaten something that is causing a stomach ache, etc. Please take Bongo to a vet for an exam if he is still drooling in the morning.
