My lab drills so much

[Anonymous]

It been happening for a few months now. Not everyday but several days a week. It's a lot of drool. We checked her teeth and did not notice any ussues. Any idea what this is?

no here, we took her to the vet and they have no idea what it is.

I would get a second opinion.

+1 How old is your lab? What other symptoms does he/she have?

Labs are not droolers. Is he a mix? If he's pure, check with the breeder.

Our lab likes to drink a huge amount of water and then spit/regurgitate some up around the house. Is this what you mean?

Ha! Yes - ours do the same.

But OP - drooling can also be a sign of nausea and animals are, unfortunately, too good at hiding the underlying cause. Also, I don't know where you live but if it's in the D.C. area, those heinous shield/stink bugs can cause the same thing if your pet eats them... do you have them in your house?

uP here, to answer your questions, she is a pure bread English lab. Another thing we notice is she seems to suffer from Winter allergies every year and she keeps licking the front of her legs. I read that it could be nausea but she still has a very strong apletite. We have had stink bugs in the past but have not seen any lately. She does sometime eat vegetation in our yard and we have almost two acres, so it could be anything.
Her energy level seems normal a!so.

Argh - frustrating, I know. We have to pure bread English labs as well ... those boxy heads are WONDERFUL. But the older of the two also suffers from allergies; he just went through a few days with "the cone" in an attempt to abate the leg licking/chewing. We eliminated corn from his diet and it has helped but for some reason, he's been having some issues for the first time in months. And I know what you mean about the large yard ... it only takes seconds for them to come into contact with something and by the time we investigate, we aren't always able to identify the culprit.

How about carrion? Is she visiting a well-hidden carcass of some kind? We can often tell when The Boys have found a deer or something because they act a bit strange and often drool when they come in from their secret meat stash ...

Did the vet check for organ disease?
