One of my friend's do drool when she see people eating. It is just her.

Another dog would drool when she is really stressed out.

I have see a dog drool before in the process of a seizure.

You might want to consult your vet and see about it. It is hard to determine without seeing the condition or the dog.

The only time Sammi drooled was when she ate a poisonous plant...So many you should call your vet and inquire...

Oh yeah, I forgot that! It happened to my dad's yorkie. He sprayed the yard and kept his yorkie away. He thought it would be safe the next day espeically since it rained but his dog(probably ate the grass) got poisoned and the symptoms was massive drooling. He was rush to the vet office and had to stay over night. He was all right the next day.

whispersmom2 · 06-16-2005, 11:40 AM

Check his mouth. Might be a little piece of something stuck in there OR he could have a tooth loose or infected. If he is eating, acting normal, energetic, playful and such it might be nothing except a strange new behavior and will be temp..Is it possible he bit thru an electric cord or something? You said your mom didn't see him eat anything bad but it could be something like a treat or wood(chewing makes splinters! LOL).Dogs do drool when they are having seizures so I would ask mom to keep him right with her and watch him. BUT, that is a common reaction to pain anywhere in the body. Have her look at his gums..PINK? If not, could be a serious problem with shock so he would need to go to the vet ASAP.
I do not intend to scare you but these precious beings can go down in such a short time.

omg i just want to cry ... im stuck at work and i cant do anything the vet isnt calling me back ... i called my mom and asked to check his gums... she said that they are pink in the front but the back or inside the mouth they arent ... is that normal?
looked at the cable wires (we have blocked all the areas where cable wires were exposed except for one) and she doesnt see anything torn.
hes currently napping
now im really confused

Biddy's Mom · 06-16-2005, 11:57 AM

I wouldn't worry until you hear back from the vet. If he seems to be acting normal otherwise, it may be something as simple as a new tooth coming in. If the vet was concerned he would have called back right away. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

cookiemonster · 06-16-2005, 12:11 PM

Don't panic. Cookie did this when she was 8 or 9 months. We were so worried. I think she got a piece of food stuck in her teeth. Sometimes when they have irritation in their mouths they drool a lot. We waited it out and she was fine the next day. If you your baby hasn't been around anything poisonous I wouldn't worry. Good Luck. We hope it's nothing serious.

whispersmom2 · 06-16-2005, 12:17 PM

Couldn't you just smack these brats into the middle of next week? Worrying us like this and after all we do for them..LOL
Yes, she only needs to check the front gums for color. The back of the mouth is where something could be stuck. Betcha you get all worked up and urry home and the stinker will come flying to meet you tail wagging the body..Just pick him up and give him great big hooman smooches and hugs. Let us know what is happening..
Is he licking his paws a lot? That can be a sign of allergies beginning. Not likely the case, though..I am so glad these dogs cannot say "GOTCHA!"

Yorkieluv · 06-16-2005, 12:22 PM

My yorkie used to do that a lot when he was in a stressful situation (ie. He used to hate riding in the car and it stressed him out or whenever we were around new people or a crowd of people). Just try to keep him calm or try giving him some water and maybe a small amount of nutrical

yorkieagility · 06-16-2005, 12:34 PM

Don't panic. Whispermom might be right. I might not be anything serious at all. Who knows. Just have your mother keep a good eye on him for anything other weird signs.

luzangela428 · 06-16-2005, 12:35 PM

Maximus pants when we are in the car...it is the strangest thing but I have the a/c blowing on him cus I think he's hot right?...well I am FREEZING and he is still panting we get out and he's like okay mom..I was just trying to TORTURE you and make you so cold that it takes at least a few hours to thaw off and I don't have to go back in the car

yorkieagility · 06-16-2005, 12:44 PM

Dogs will pant when they are excited or stressed. It doesn't always mean they are hot.
