Your dog has started drooling excessively after consuming food from the table, which could indicate an upset stomach or another issue.
- Monitor your dog’s behavior and symptoms
- Consider potential food sensitivities or foreign objects
- Seek veterinary advice if drooling persists or worsens
Excessive drooling can occur if a dog has eaten something that doesn't agree with their stomach, or they have an underlying condition that's been triggered. Check the food for any spices or ingredients that are unusual or known to upset dogs. Additionally, if the issue persists, it might be best to consult with a vet as ongoing drooling can suggest other health concerns.
