Dogs are strong and fragile small animals, and they can get sick like us humans. So, what is the reason why dogs foam at their mouths? How many reasons do they behave like this? Let’s take a look together below!
1. Sick.
It is normal for a dog to get sick. When we see a dog foaming at the mouth, we need to consider whether the dog suffers from diseases such as tiny or canine distemper. If possible, take it to the hospital for a complete set of treatments. Pay attention to the dog's usual behavior, and we can also tell whether it has any disease.
2. Gastrointestinal problems.
If the dog foams at the mouth and vomits translucent liquid, it means there is a problem with the dog's stomach and intestines. Gastric mucosa is damaged or excessive gastric acid. At this time, you should consider your dog's diet. If you find something you should eat, you should buy some probiotics or take it directly to the hospital for treatment.
3. Incorrect ingestion.
If something is stuck in the throat or is difficult to digest, the dog will also foam at this time. If you find that your dog looks very uninspired and cannot eat, you should consider whether you accidentally eat plastic bags, rubbers, metal products and other items. However, it is difficult for us to make a judgment on ourselves, so we need to go to the hospital for examination.
4. Too hungry.
In this case, dogs will also foam at the mouth. So we often see some stray dogs having this situation. If they are domestic pet dogs, then don’t consider this reason. It may be one of the several reasons we introduced above, and you need to judge and analyze them as soon as possible.
5. Treatment.
If this happens to your dog, you should stop eating for a long time and then give the dog a child's version of the medicine. Then you can give your dog some probiotics or yogurt and other foods. If the dog's condition improves, it means there is no problem. If the situation does not improve, you need to go to the hospital for a look.
