A dog drools wildly

If a dog suddenly drools wildly, it is most likely that the dog is injured in the mouth or has swallowed something stuck. If it is stuck in the teeth, the dog will scratch its mouth with its front paws or rub its mouth vigorously with its paws; if it is stuck in the esophagus, it will always raise its neck, and the dog will have difficulty swallowing. Injuries to the mouth such as pricks from eating, oral ulcers, periodontal inflammation, etc. can also cause dogs to drool wildly. It is worth mentioning that rabies is a fatal disease that can also cause dogs to drool wildly. However, rabies is also accompanied by nervousness, restlessness, barking, biting things, etc. It is different from the oral diseases and ingestion of foreign bodies mentioned above. Still quite big.

Dogs have difficulty swallowing

Dogs will have difficulty swallowing if something is stuck in their throat or have oral disease, and they may also drool as mentioned above. However, the book says that some dogs with tumors may also have difficulty swallowing, but I have no experience with this.

Dogs drink water like crazy

It is normal for dogs to drink water like crazy after exercise. However, if the dog suddenly drinks water like crazy every day, it may be due to the following reasons: Several problems: fever, kidney problems, diabetes or pyometra. We can easily verify fever by taking the temperature. If there is a kidney problem, the dog will drink more and urinate more, and may also experience painful urination and blood in the urine. Diabetes will cause weight loss when drinking, urinating and eating too much. I don't know much about pyometra, but it is definitely not a good sign for a dog to suddenly drink water. You must pay attention to it.

Dog bad breath

The first thing that makes us think of dog bad breath is periodontitis, tartar and tartar. But the book says that kidney disease and liver disease may also cause abnormal odor in the dog's mouth. In fact, generally speaking, it is normal for dogs to have a slight taste in their mouths, because no matter how much we brush our dogs’ teeth, it seems that there will inevitably be some tartar and tartar. After all, we cannot brush their teeth every day. But if we smell a different odor in the dog's mouth than usual, we should pay attention and observe the dog's diet to see if there are any signs of other problems.

Okay, that’s about it. Vomiting, yellow water, and white foam in dogs are definitely problems with the gastrointestinal system. It may be gastritis, or it may be severe parvovirus. When dogs vomit, I have said a lot about it in related articles, so I won’t go into details here.
