What causes a dog to shake and pant?
Both shaking and panting are signs of stress like trembling or sweating in humans. Most typically this is fear/anxiety, but can also be caused by stress created by an illness or extreme pain. Not part of your question, but a possible solution for an anxious dog is ThunderShirt. There are numerous 3rd party reviews where it helped shaking and panting dogs. I can say it worked for my very fearful rescue pit bull so she was able live life and calmly build confidence around fearful things. She no longer needs it either thanks to training and her early times in a ThunderShirt.
Dog drooling over puppy?
Excessive drooling along with excessive yawning is a sign of stress or discomfort. Has your mom's dog been around puppies before? Was she aggressive w/ the puppy or just picking it up? Regardless of what some people think not all dogs are natural caretakers. Not all of them know how to handle something so small though they try. Her dog may have been overly excited which caused a bit of anxiety - hence the drooling. Good Luck
Why does my dog drool and throw up in the car?!?
My dog, well puppy rather, is 12 weeks old. Every time we take him in the car he drools really bad and eventually throws up. I know its normal for puppys to throw up in the car and I assume the drooling is just anxiety going along with it, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Its not every time he throws up, but every time we get in the car he starts drooling. Its a lot too! Like a waterfall from his mouth, and he gets it on everything! I haven't asked the vet or anything about it because I'm sure its just normal puppy behavior but has anyone else had this problem, and did your puppy grow out of it? I hope so because we'll be driving cross country with him in about 10 months!!
My dog met a puppy and started drooling?
My dog is not a drooling breed, and she has never drooled when meeting other dogs. My sister brought home her new puppy and my dog (2 yr old mutt) started drooling uncontrollably. I know nothing is wrong with her but is this normal? why does she do it?
Dog drools when i take her to Dog Park?
It could be several things.... 1. Dogs drool when they are scared, fearful, anxious, etc. so it could be the new surroundings are taking her time to get used, these are after all...new dogs, sights, smells, sounds and people. 2. Dogs can also drool when they get excited so it may also be she is simply excited by her new surroundings and fur-buddies. 3. Dogs drool when they get excessively hot. It may be that this park has less shade or more concrete, less grass, etc. that is causing it to be hotter, or it may be larger letting her run further or there may be more active dogs at this park that she runs with during play. 4. It could also be there is a plant in the area the dogs chew on which may not agree with them causing the drooling (tho I would kind of doubt this one). As long as the drooling is not accompanied by other factors such as shaking or dialated eyes (which could indicate fear/anxiety) and she/he seems happy-go-lucky and attitude wise you do not see a big difference in her between the two parks, she should be fine. If she/he does show the above signs then she may just need to have a bit more of a introduction/socialization to the park. Try talking her for a walk before entering the park to see if it helps.
Why does my dog drool only when she sees ticks?
Dogs are a lot like people in that their responses to certain stimuli are rooted in past experiences. In this case, the stimulus is the tick, and the reaction is drooling. Dogs drool for a number of reasons: they may be hungry, angry, afraid, or excited. Basically any sort of intense emotion can trigger an increase in salivary production (more spit, more drooling) due to more adrenaline being pumped through the dog's bloodstream. Your dog probably was bitten by a tick in a sensitive area such as the belly, ear, or nose, and now she associates ticks with anxiety. Her anxiety causes the stress centers of her brain (the hypothalamus in humans) to increase adrenaline production, which leads to excess drool. Basically it is an effect of her body preparing herself to either fight or run away from the tick.
