Forming (mildly) at the mouth

[cfuh]

Hi all,

My dog is slightly foaming at the mouth but this happens when we go outside to potty/walk. She's had her rabie shot and she's not attacking anything. Does anyone know what's happening? Thanks.

:confused: :confused:

I don't know the answer to "why" it happens, but you are not alone. It happens here too, especially when my girls smell something "special" or they get really, really excited.

So, I guess it's ok and not to worry about it much. Thanks!!!!!!

:) :) :)

Also, if the dog got a hold of a toad, for example, they secrete something that makes them drop the toad and then they foam at the mouth.

Kia will foam a little at the mouth when she's excited and happy. She does it a lot at the dog park. :D My rabid Kia. *laughs*

Well you know Kimmy, Kia is the devil's spawn.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

cfuh, I hope that's all it is. Excitement or a toad....I'll bet it is. If you're worried, call the vet and see what he/she says.

When I take Missy to the dog park she foams at the mouth. I never really thought anything of it, I figured she just gets really excited and then she slurps up water and theirs lots of dirt and other dogs, and lots of fun people. I just kind of assumed it was normal when dogs get excited because it only happens when we go to the park she doesn't do it at home.
