What Causes My Dog Foaming At The Mouth?

My sister dog got a hold of a frog the other day

, put it in her mouth and then spit out the frog. She made sure the frog was okay but the dog started foaming at the mouth, salivating and all that. They got really scared and called the emergency clinic. They said, "Oh the toad probably got scared and urinated in the dog's mouth. That's what caused the foaming." Snakescan secrete a substance that would make a dog foam in the mouth after they touched them, not poisonous snakes but worms or garter snakes and grass snakes. When dogs get a hold of them, sometimes they foam.

Certain substances they can get a hold of in the environment dirt, things like that will sometimes cause them to foam. You can also get something that's kind of like foaming but it's really just hyper-salivation. Some dogs when they get nervous, they will salivate more than usual.I've seen dogs that came into the vet clinic and they're really kind of nervous and they'll have strings of saliva.I've seen other dogs that think they're going to get fed with tidbits and so that gets their salivary glands going. They'll either have strings of saliva or foam or blow bubbles. They're salivating a little bit extra because they're waiting on that treat that you're going to give them. Sometimes it can really be benign. They're salivating because they're going to get a treat and so anxious about it. Most of the time, it's something that they got in that irritates their mucus membrane in their mouth.

Poisonous things can cause foaming but there are probably more non-poisonous things that can cause it.Puppies are the worst about poisoning. A lot of times, what gets in their mouth they swallow. Older dogs seem to have a little bit more common sense. Many times, they'll taste something that's toxic and they'll spit it out.
