Drooling??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

spruitt7 · 01-22-2008, 08:39 PM

Yesterday morning, I noticed that the sides of Riley's mouth were wet for some reason. I didn't think anything about it, but it again tonight while he was sleeping. He has drool coming out of his mouth while he sleeps. Is this normal? He does have alot of baby teeth and adult teeth. I thought that might cause him not to be able to close his mouth while hes sleeping. Thankfully if this is the problem, he is getting his teeth taken out when he gets neutered.

Is it only when he's sleeping? or does he drool sometimes during the day?
If he drools during the day, it could be baby teeth, stress, pain, etc.

I think its only when hes sleeping or laying down. It doesnt happen when hes playing or running around. Its probably his baby teeth. Hes been chewing on everything lately. Is there anything that will help his teething pain?

Have you tried freezing something he likes to chew on?

He has this little rubber bone that I've but in the freezer before, but he didn't seem to interested in it. I just put it back in the freezer, so I'm going to give it to him later. Lately, he goes nuts when he sees me get ice. I've been giving him crushed ice, so I hope that helps.

Poor little guy sounds like he's teething

Have you tried giving him a kong to play with?

Run a couple of washcloths under water, wring them out and put them in the freezer until frozen. That was our little girl's favorite chewy when she was teething.
