hi i have a 4 year old husky, but today i sat down by him and was feeding him outside, and i saw this white liquid type stuff around and in his mouth and it kept coming a little bit, im not sure if he was doin any exercise before i came outside, ( you know when dogs run or do something like that they get a little bit of white foam in there mouth) but this was differant and i dont think he was doing anything. maybe he was barking.
i am realy worried
thank you so much

OHHHH Good Grief ! He doesn't have RABIES !
If it is hot where he is, drool will be a bit thicker, especially if he's been panting and he's outside.
Get a water mister spray container like in the make-up or garden area - brand new.. and clean. Fill with cool water or add a ice cube or 3. When you see him looking a little thick, hold his head lightly and spray the side or even the front of the inside of his mouth so he is drinking in small swallows. If it's cool water, a Husky will like it.
This is HOT weather and you need to be wary of heat exhaustion --- which comes before heat stroke which is the SHOCK part of over heating.
Put in enough water in his food so his kibble will float; this will help him get extra water when he eats.
Set out a large, large, horse size bucket of water. tie it or anchor it so he can't tip it over. Very important: make sure water s t a y s in the shade all day long !
Put out a inexpensive toddler kiddy pool in the shade and half way fill for him to lie in. Throw some ice cubes in it and show him.
Does he have a really, super good, area of shade ?
I'd see if you can't put up a window box fan so it won't tip over if he bumps it or sits on it or Better. a high velocity fan so he can lie in front of it. The fan needs to be protected from rain, too.
FANS and WATER are important in preventing heat problems.
I think this is what you are seeing.
possibly rabies
drull idontknow
dogs can be kind of grose
ummm could be rabies...or an infection from something that he ate
He's probably simply smelled something tantalising that's made him salivate excessively. My dog ends up with long tendrils of white foam hanging from her mouth when she's been sniffing something nice. It's horrible! lol
The rabies thing could be a possibility at a long stretch depending upon where you live and whether it's applicable.
I wouldn't be worried unless your dog is an outside dog that is exposed to wild animals and has not had it's yearly rabies vaccination. The second thought that would come to me would be if there are any poisons your dog could have come into contact with. You should watch the dogs behavior if it becomes lethargic or starts vomiting I would go to the vet.
I got really worried because my dog(weenie doggy) did that before and I ran and got my mom but she said that he had did this before and it was caused by a frog lol...he picked up a frog with his mouth and I think it had some kind of stuff in its skin and it make him do that..it wasnt just a little bit of running and playing foam either...it was pretty bad lol..but there is also the possibility of rabies. He could have also got into something toxic and its making him sick...you need to keep a close eye on him but if you see him with a frog you know thats it lol.
If you let your dog outside alone, then maybe it got bitten by an animal with some sort of sickness. If your dig starts to show any signs of viciousness then take it to the vet right away. Well you should take it to the vet NOW. They will help your pooch.
probably rabies
if you think he has rabies, he probably doesnt. he was probably just running or doing other things dogs do. but if you want to be sure then dont go near him and call the proper people
Barking in the heat, w/o water to drink will make them a little foamy at the mouth..
It has been hot lately. he may be overheating.
my rottie foams up sometimes, but drools a whole lot more!
I don't think it's rabies, unless you haven't vaccinated him?
and foaming usually occurs later, not right then and there. there are other symptoms to look for before he froths at the mouth.
I agree, though, he may be sick.
where I live, we have cane toads. they are highly venomous, and if a dog should mouth it, they get very sick, and some die.
take him to the vet, and have him checked out.
couldn't hurt, and makes you feel better.'
good luck
My Great Pyrenees gets froth on around his mouth in the summer, but he has all his shots so I don't worry too much. I figure its just something the larger Mastiff breeds do. I hope your dog has his annual rabies vaccination, if rabies is a problem where you live. In the US all dogs are required rabies vaccines.
OMG stop telling this person his dog has rabies.. He was probally running around a bit before you came out, and if its warmer outside where you live, it was probally just drool (slobber). And if he is anything like my lab then it will happen, make sure he/she has plenty of water outside, especially on warm days.
I hope you had him vaccinated against rabies, because white foam is the first indication of rabies.
