- Eating irritating foods
If a dog accidentally eats some strongly irritating foods, such as yams or taro, it can cause temporary mouth numbness and produce a large amount of thick saliva. The owner can pay close attention to observe if there are any other abnormalities. If the dog shows no other problems, provide it with enough drinking water and stop feeding it those types of foods. However, if other abnormalities are noticed, it is worth considering whether the dog is allergic and needs to be injected with anaphylaxis-inhibiting needles or medications to suppress gland secretions at a pet hospital.
- Poisoning
If a dog produces a large amount of saliva simultaneously with seizures, inability to stand, vomiting, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms, it is likely poisoned. In severe cases, it can even lead to shock or death. Therefore, when a dog shows symptoms of poisoning, immediately take it to the nearest pet hospital for rescue. In daily life, toxic substances should be properly stored to avoid the dog's contact with poisonous substances.
- Oral diseases
When a dog suffers from oral diseases such as stomatitis, gingivitis, and dental calculus, it will produce saliva uncontrollably. It may also be accompanied by bad breath, swollen gums, decreased appetite, or even loss of appetite. The owner can inspect the dog's mouth by separating its lips. If there are problems in the dog's mouth, go to the pet hospital promptly for inspection and treat the specific cause accordingly.
