Mouth twitching and drooling
Mouth twitching and drooling may come from irritating substances such as very spicy food, causing excess saliva that rinsing can relieve. Stomatitis can also cause it.
Do dogs and cats show the same symptoms of rabies?
Cat and dog rabies symptoms are basically the same with slight breed differences, in two types: furious and paralytic. Early signs are subtle neurological or behavioral changes and sensitivity at the bite site (1–2 days), then often the furious form—restlessness, biting and scratching moving objects until collapse.
What happens when a dog is sick?
Signs vary by disease but often include lethargy, poor appetite, and inactivity. Respiratory disease adds sneezing, cough, breathing trouble; gut issues bring arched back, pain, diarrhea, vomiting; neurological disease brings seizures, tremors, foam.
Cat suddenly convulsed and had diarrhea, now breathing very weakly, lying down.
Convulsions, diarrhea, weak breathing may be poisoning, nerve disease, or infection. Bad food causes poisoning; nutrient lack or trauma causes nerve issues; distemper brings convulsions with lethargy/vomiting/diarrhea. Serious—see a vet.
Why does my puppy have spasms and trembling?
Spasms and trembling may come from calcium deficiency, distemper infection, or nerve disease. Add calcium-rich food or pet calcium tablets, and if infection is suspected, see a vet.
Distemper, Respiratory Infection, Pneumonia, Eating and Walking Fine, Hind Leg Twitching at Night, Pus Eye Discharge
Distemper is severe; respiratory/pneumonia types need nebulization and anti-inflammatories plus distemper monoclonal antibody, interferon and serum for 5-7 days. Hind-leg twitching suggests nerve damage that may be lifelong but manageable.
My puppy started having episodes on the 18th. At first it had seizures and couldn’t stand steady; later it couldn’t get up at all, just lay there with its hind legs splayed and let out straining ‘uh-uh’ cries. It even vomits up the food I syringe-feed it, and seems to have lost bowel and bladder control.
Based on your description, your puppy's seizures, unsteady stance, and loss of bowel and bladder control could be caused by meningoencephalitis, epilepsy, intracranial parasites, or poisoning. Trembling, seizures, and difficulty standing are neurological symptoms that are quite serious, so you should take the puppy to a veterinary hospital promptly for diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying care and putting its life at risk. Because these signs can stem from several different causes, a vet visit is needed to confirm the underlying problem.
What happens if I overuse flea and tick spray on my dog?
Overuse can poison—the drug spreads via sebaceous glands into the blood, possibly damaging liver/kidneys or causing nerve signs. Follow label doses; if vomiting, fever, foaming, seizures, see a vet.
My four-month-old dog keeps nodding its head, worsening but otherwise fine—what could it be?
Frequent nodding with good spirits may be normal (hiccups or excitement) or a neurological issue such as seizures or distemper aftermath. A vet can prescribe anticonvulsants or nerve-support medication.
