Excessive drooling can sometimes occur after administering Cerenia, although it isn't a typical reaction. It could be a sign of a mild adverse reaction, but if it's accompanied by other symptoms, it might indicate something more serious.
- Drooling is a potential but uncommon side effect of Cerenia.
- Monitor for other symptoms like vomiting or changes in behavior.
- Consult a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.
Cerenia, used to prevent vomiting in dogs, can have side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and less commonly, excessive drooling. If your dog is just drooling without other alarming symptoms, it might be an isolated reaction. However, keep a close eye on him for any other symptoms or changes in behavior. If these occur, or if drooling persists, it's best to speak with a vet.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
