Dog has been excessively drooling and pacing for hours...

Hello there,



I’m sorry to hear that your dog is feeling uncomfortable. Excessive drooling and pacing can be distressing for both of you. Let’s see if I can help.



There are a few reasons your dog might be showing these signs. It’s possible they’re experiencing nausea, which could be caused by something as simple as eating something disagreeable or more serious like an upset stomach. Anxiety or stress might also lead to these behaviors. Another possibility is dental issues or something stuck in their mouth.



At home, you can start by checking your dog’s mouth for any foreign objects or sore spots. Make sure they have access to plenty of fresh water to prevent dehydration. Additionally, creating a calm environment might help if anxiety is a factor—try playing some soothing music or providing their favorite toy or bed.



However, it’s important to keep an eye on some warning signs. If your dog seems lethargic, is vomiting, or the drooling and pacing continue for an extended period, this could indicate a more serious condition like poisoning or severe pain, and you should seek veterinary care promptly.
