Dry mouth turned wet mouth
Dex has suddenly turned into a wet mouth dog. His entire lower jaw is stained brown partway down his neck! When he lays on the tile with his head down he gets the tile beneath his mouth wet. Nothing has changed in his diet. I checked his mouth and couldn't find anything that looks sore. Any ideas? Do they get new teeth at 28-29 months? |

| Can't help you there as we have always had wet mouths from where they have been drinking and make a terrible mess. Be interesting to see what folk come up with. I just thought they all had drippy chins.x |
| I'm sure you've already found this...............http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/mouth/c_multi_ptyalism?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Dogs+%5BSearch%5D&utm_term=dog%20drooling&&utm_content=sDSnqA9a5|pcrid|20547017575|pkw|dog%20drooling|pmt|b&gclid=COqmk-fKjrcCFY9FMgodFQ0AxQ#.UY6A153nY2w phew! that's a long URL |
| That article is kinda scary! Can be something big or as simple as a prolonged upset tummy. He is not as bad as some I have seen, our concern is that he was dry mouthed until just recently. He does have a somewhat sensitive stomach (for a dog that eats wood! And we recently got a new type of treat, maybe that's it. |
| Quincy was a hypersalivater, as is Oscar. Quincy had GERD, which would have been helped by Pepcid AC, had we known. Oscar's is a result of tummy upset, from his IBD. He takes Pepcid AC (40 mg daily), as his system is highly acidic as well. Does Dex's chin smell like vomit, or stomach acid? It's possible Dex is having trouble with his new treats. If you stop the treats, and it doesn't get better in a couple of days, it might be time for a vet visit. I make it a habit to take Oscar in anytime he starts doing something that he has never done before, as it's usually a sign that something is brewing, and then I am ahead of the curve. Keep us posted.

| Yeah, I'd start with the treat. Reading the article is indeed scary. Any sign of cracked teeth? |
| Do you mean a brown wet beard? That is part of the breed. My dogs always have a somewhat "wet" face and brownish around the beard area...Nothing wrong with their teeth or anything. I did not read the article...but brownish stain around the wet beard is kind of normal I think? |
| Certain sheepdogs do tend to be "wetter" than others, but usually they are that way from puppyhood. It sounds like their concern is that the extremely wet beard and neck have started out of nowhere when Dex is over two years old. Both Quincy and Oscar were "wet beards" from very young. (After taking the Pepcid AC, Oscar has become much more dry.) Laurie and Oscar |
| Maybe that's why MO always had a white beard .... Quote: After taking the Pepcid AC . For her it was tummy problems for years. |
