Gracie's Mommy
Well-known member
Ok...so, we went to the vet today to get Gracie's stitches out. We were there for all of 10 minutes and Gracie did great! No wimpering or whining and really she didn't even try to squirm much while they took them out. They had me hold her while they did it and she seemed fine with it.
Then we went to the off-leash dog park for the first time. We went to the small dog section first...there weren't any other dogs in this section. I looked down and she was drooling and had these clear bubbles coming from her mouth. I was a bit worried! I gave her water because I thought she might be thirsty or about to get sick. That helped for a few minutes, but I looked back down and she was doing it again. Her temperment seems fine...not upset or anything.
So, I've read here that drooling can be a sign of stress...do you think that's what this was? She's been around many other dogs, so I don't understand why this was very stressful to her (especially since they were on the other side of the fence). I called the vet and they didn't seem concerned...just said to keep an eye on her. Any ideas on what might be going on here? Thanks!
