Why Is Your Dog Suddenly Drooling a Lot? 4 Causes to Watch
Dogs pant to cool off, so some drool on a hot day is normal. But sudden, heavy salivation in normal temperatures can signal trouble. The causes worth flagging are oral disease, poisoning, heatstroke, and neurological problems, with severe kidney or liver disease and even rabies as grave possibilities. Teething, car sickness, or excitement explain milder cases. When drooling pairs with collapsing, seizures, or suspected toxin exposure, head to the vet at once.
