This morning he was excessively drooling and constantly licking his mouth and this evening he hasn’t been licking as much but now there is blood in his drool and it’s nonstop
Excessive drooling and licking, especially when accompanied by blood in the drool, can indeed be alarming and may indicate a serious health issue. These symptoms might be due to various causes, such as oral injuries, dental problems, ingestion of a foreign object, or even exposure to toxins. Given the presence of blood and the persistence of these symptoms, it's essential to seek immediate veterinary care.
While you're arranging for veterinary attention, try to keep your dog calm and prevent him from licking or chewing on anything that could worsen the situation. It's also advisable to avoid giving him any food or treats until a veterinarian has had the chance to assess his condition, as this could potentially aggravate any underlying issues.
The presence of blood in the drool is particularly concerning and should be evaluated by a professional as soon as possible. A veterinarian will be able to perform a thorough examination and may conduct diagnostic tests to identify the underlying cause and provide the necessary treatment.
Please take your dog to a veterinary clinic or animal hospital immediately to ensure he receives the appropriate care. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
