Does your yorkie drool?

[sophias mommy]

Sophia drools when she's scared . So usually at the vet for nail trims (or when she's meeting kjc ) Sophia was drooling up a storm when she met Kathy!!!

Gwenni is the only one that drools and only when in the car because she's nauseous.

Never have had them drool otherwise.

He drools when we say "walkies?"
He drools when we say "byebyes?"
He drools when we say "want some?" for treats (and drools for "treat" too)
He drools when he knows "daddy" (my husband) will be home soon, and will drool for about 20 minutes before he walks in the door.

His is not thick or gooey/slimey though, it's just watery saliva.

I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with your dog (there might be a medical explanation for it). For ours however, it's just the way he is. He drools when he gets excited and it's normal for him. Every dog is different. Also...he's done it since he was 3 months old (and probably before then, too).

I never questioned it or thought it was weird, but with this post I see that it apparently is "different" LOL

LOL cute!
Scraps only drools when he sees food he wants. Just like how big dogs drool. Now Uni, my crazy girl, she will foam at the mouth! if she's too excited or on edge. Not the same as Scraps' drool. It's thin and bubbly. First time it happened we took her to a yorkie meetup. First time she's seen so many dogs. She freaked and even tore one of her nails out.

Nope, neither of my two drool.

Yes. Ask Kaji if he wants a cookie and he losses it. Show him the cookie and you will find a puddle of drool right where he was sitting. It's so gross, but funny.

Joel only drools in the car........ALOT!

He never drooled a single drop the whole time I had him. But then again, he didn't really eat much when he was here.

I should send him there more often. Fatty needs to lose some weight!

Momo drools, he's also missing a front tooth on the bottom...but all his teeth are super tiny, so I don't think it holds back his huge tongue properly.
He'll leave a tiny puddle of drool when there is food. When I give him the food/treat, he'll also leave my fingers drenched in his drool loll.

He also has strangely large/bulgy saliva sacs. I took him to 2 different vets thinking something was very wrong & they both said it was normal. They didn't aspirate it or felt that there was anything wrong w/it, as long as he's breathing & eating normally. It bothers me tho.

How can you tell if the sacks are larger than normal? Do you feel inside his mouth?

Cinders doesn't droll, but she does make that big eyed face at me when I try to teach her tricks. All she can do so far is run to me when I say here.

Scraps too! At least he knows his name!

It's @ the jaw line towards the back, close to where the lymph nodes would be. I thought it was the lymph nodes & got so scared, but the vets told me it was his saliva glands. They also checked all the other lymph nodes throughout his body & said they were all normal.
