| why is he drooling? I posted in general but not getting any replies, so I'm here now. the last few days, my little guy has been drooling in his sleep. If he hangs his head over his bed there is a little puddle on the floor. He will be 11 months old next week. He doesn't seem sick, he is eating, drinking, playing like normal. What could be causing him to drool like this? Could it be his toothpaste? I have never seen a dog do this. |

| wow, 43 views and only 3 replies & two of those were directed towards another poster. Thanks a lot for the advice from experienced members of YT!! I guess I will have to deal with it on my own. It isn't Liver Shunt, he has been tested for this. |

| Allergies??? Quote:
Has he been tested for allergies? I'm not sure why he is drooling, but this should be checked out, he is too young for this to be happening.

What's up with the sarcasm? It's not the number of replies you get that's helpful; it's the quality of the replies. I think you've learned that you should take your dog to the vet for tests, as this is not something normal. We are not diagnosticians, we can share our experiences and tell you things, like my dog does that and it's completely normal, or my dog does that and he had liver shunt.

| Drooling is most common with neurological problems, pain, nausea, and tooth problems. Since it's happening in his sleep, I'd look at tooth problems first. It couldn't hurt to get another bile acids test, esp. if the first one was done before 20 weeks. There are other neurological issues that could cause it too. It doesn't seem like these things would be worse while he is sleeping though. Has he lost all of his baby teeth? If he is older, are any of his teeth loose/gums inflamed?

Since you say there is a puddle on the floor, indicates a HUGE amount of drool, so something is going on. Please keep us posted! P.S. Alot of times when people don't have the experience it is hard to answers some threads. I too have been there. I asked about clear sticky vaginal discharge, and not may people answered, bc no one had the experience with that, so please don't take offense...We do try to help when we can | |

| Drooling can also be from being nervous. Has anything different happened lately that can make him nervous? I see drooling sometimes when I groom a dog that is scared. I try to calm them down to help the drooling stop. |

| i think she said he is doing it in his sleep - maybe he is dreaming of a large juicy steak |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | That's what I first thought of, Joey drooled at the first Yorkietalk get-together, a cat was there, and I suspect that what caused the anxiety, but YorkieD says her dog drools in it's sleep, so that made me think it probably wasn't from anxiety.

| I think your right. I missed the part that said he was drooling in his sleep only. It seems very odd to me too. Is it hot were he sleeps just a thought? |

| he's better of course I took him to the vet. Had to wait until Friday, when I could get an appointment. Vet checked ears & teeth & couldn't find anything wrong. Saturday morning he was totally worse. The drooling was now constant, wouldn't eat or drink. Took him to the ER. They did blood work, nothing wrong no infection, pancreatitis, no liver problems nothing, a bit dehydrated. Did xrays on throat, stomach & stuff, nothing stuck anywhere. They sedated him so they could look in his throat. His little throat was red & inflamed. they gave medicine to coat his throat & IV for dehydration. He is o.k now but it took the weekend to get him back to normal. He had swallowed a bur on Monday that had been stuck in his hair (I didn't see it) He vomited it up in the afternoon that's is how I knew he ate it. But he seemed o.k. The bur had caused the throat problems & it just got so sore he couldn't swallow anymore by Saturday. |
