Excessive drooling (watering mouth)
Hi!
I`m looking for others who may have encountered similar health problems with their frenchies, as I have no idea what is happening to my little girl, and out Vet. seems pretty lost too.
The issue:
Last January my frenchie suffered two slipped disks (? is this what it is called in english?) in her neck, but with the right medication and pain relief they both went back to normal by themselved. So no surgery needed luckily.
But, ever since this she has had a few issues with excessive drooling. It`s like a constant dripping of clear water-like saliva, yet she still acts normal; eats, drinks, plays. I thought perhaps her teeth had been damaged by the heavy pain medications so we got it checked out end ended up pulling out a bad tooth, this was 1 month ago. But it still hasn`t stopped.
Sometimes the drooling is just for a few hours, but two weeks ago it lasted for three whole days. And yesterday we went for a walk, she was all happy, jumping and running around as usual, and when we came home the drooling started again. I did not allow her to chew on anything on the walk or when we came home so... what`s happening?
My theories as of today:
- she has a gum infections from the pain meds (she is currently on antibiotics to get the evil germs away - we are 5 days in to the treatment, it should show signs of improving by now?)
- hypothyroidism?
- is it a sort of epileptic attack?
I`m getting really worried.. Please do respond if you have any theories or experience in regards to this issue!
