| Dry Mouth Has anyone ever heard of a yorkie getting dry mouth? I sold one of my little studs and I'm going back to get him because the lady said she took him to the vet and her vet said he had dry mouth and could pass it on the the puppies.He does drink alot of water but I have had him to three vets and not one has mentioned this.Any opinions on this?

| It's called xerostomia and is thought to be immune system related. People get it when they are on chemo, but it is very uncommon in dogs. Here's a link to browse. http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/in...m/bc/23123.htm |
