[nagdu] Drooling?

[Daryl Marie]

Hi, Raven,

I never knew that. Jenny isn't on a heartworm preventative, but is on a flea and tic preventative from Apr-Oct.
Thankfully, the REALLY excessive drooling is over. She's still drooling slightly, but you've gotta basically shove your hand under her muzzle and right under her lips to get anything.

HUGELY relieved.

Daryl

Excessive drooling is a side effect of some medications, especially
many heartworm drugs.
If she is on any of these drugs and exams/tests don't show that
anything is amiss, I would stop giving them. Even if you've stopped
dosing for the winter months, side effects can rear their ugly heads
weeks and months after taking a drug. If the chemical is still in the
system, the side effects can put in an appearance.
I hope this is resolved quickly.
