Dog chattering: Eosinophilia plaque / granuloma?

Hi there! It sounds like you're concerned about your dog's chattering behavior. While it's understandable to be worried about eosinophilic plaques or granulomas, let's look at some other reasons this might be happening.

Dog chattering can sometimes be related to pain, especially if it's occurring while eating or if they've got any inflamed areas in their mouth. Dental issues like a broken tooth or periodontal disease are common culprits. It can also be due to anxiety or even excitement, particularly if it's occurring in certain situations like meeting new dogs or people.

In the case of eosinophilic plaques or granulomas, these are usually accompanied by visible lesions on the skin, which may be red, swollen, and itchy. It's important to check your dog's skin for such signs.

At home, keep an eye on any dietary or behavioral triggers. Providing calming activities and ensuring a stress-free environment might help. Knowing your dog's normal behavior is crucial; if the chattering is paired with pain, drooling, difficulty eating, or any skin changes, it's time for a look from a vet.
