My dog is drooling excessively and this is day three of it happening.

Thank you for reaching out with your concern about your dog's excessive drooling. I understand this can be concerning, so let's explore what's going on.



Excessive drooling, or hypersalivation, can be caused by a variety of things. It might be something as simple as oral discomfort, like a bad tooth or something stuck in the mouth. It could also be due to a more serious issue like nausea, gastrointestinal upset, or even a neurological problem.



At home, you can gently check your dog's mouth for any obvious signs of irritation or foreign objects, but be careful and gentle to avoid causing any discomfort. Make sure your dog has plenty of fresh water available and try to keep their environment calm to reduce any stress that could be contributing to the drooling.



Watch for other symptoms such as changes in appetite, vomiting, lethargy, or difficulty swallowing, which might indicate a more serious problem. If these signs are present or if the drooling continues or worsens, it's crucial to have a vet assess your dog to rule out any serious conditions.



I recommend booking a video consultation with one of our Dial A Vet experts to discuss your dog's symptoms in more detail. They can guide you on the next steps and ensure your pet gets the care they need.
