QUESTION:

Sir Winston has lost a lot of control with his drooling when he drinks water and sometimes just sitting quietly. I wondered if there was anything natural I can give him to control this better.

ANSWER:

Dear JoAnn,

Thanks for writing in. Sounds like your Sir Winston is probably making quite a mess! I would advise you to see your veterinarian as many times excess drooling is a sign of diseases such as mouth (bad teeth, periodontal disease, masses/tumors in the mouth or throat) or swallowing problems.

Good Luck.

Dr. Donna Spector
