You were right on the money with that one. Thank you for contributing. I had him admitted to hospital last night & today they conducted a biopsy and CT scan, but the vet confirmed before reading my dog’s report is that, he immediately thought this dog has masticatory myositis just by looking at him. We will wait the we week for the CT scan & biopsy for the lumps in his neck. I have had the hardest few days, if feels most awful without him & also knowing he is going through so much but I grateful for at least one answer. How does a dog go for 6 years being the most healthy, and all in 5 months time being diagnosed with 3 different conditions. I’m so saddened and can’t fathom his absence. Let’s hope we get some good news later in the week thanks again for your message

Thank you all so much. Definitely get him in to go under to cover all areas. Cactus prickle is a possibility as I have quite a vast collection, yet he doesn’t really go near them but I can’t be sure or that the lump in the neck/throat is causing the mouth to stay open?

Thank you so much. I wish our pets could talk to us. I feel absolutely horrendous and can’t do much more than what we’re already doing. Thank you for your message

thank you! I believe that is the safest bet for them also. Are you aware of cancer being linked to a droopy foamy mouth? I guess that is my main worry as I know certain things can be treated and resolved

Hi thank you! My apologies on doubling up on the post - accidental the vet did not look into his mouth, as he was uncomfortable he was moving away and growling (he is not an aggressive dog by any means but when unwell and being prodded, he is sensitive) His breath is quite stinky. I wish to get him in ASAP but will have to wait for the remaining results. He will be in Tuesday morning the latest

Thank you for your reply. We have checked ourselves and there’s is nothing in his mouth at all. The lump has decreased in size slightly however the symptoms are still the same

Hello, i have spent the last couple days in tears, pending blood results. Regarding our beautiful human like, 6 year old Rottweiler. On Friday, all of a sudden had an open mouth, kind of like an “oh” expression. Extremely foamy, white drool and foam covering a lot of his mouth. His appetite his normal but takes a very long time to drink water and eat. We took him to the vet first thing, and they discovered a lump in his neck. Unfortunately they could not properly examine him as he was quite uncomfortable. They took bloods and sent him home with antibiotics, there wasn’t a real mention regarding the mouth situation. As of today, his eyes are quite droopy, much of the red is showing. Then it settles. He is running about like normal, greeting is like normal and loves a good cuddle and pat. Half bloods returned today and they found his red and white cells to be completely normal, the vet said that was strange. The vet couldn’t explain the link between the foamy mouth. Final results will be in tomorrow and will give us more of an indication, however if inconclusive he would need to be brought in to be sedated for the day to examine him properly. They asked us to check for further lumps which we haven’t found - if we did, that could indicate lymphoma/cancer. He was diagnos d in January with severe arthritis and hip displasia & it was so sudden. He has a really nutritious diet and the right medication to help ease his arthritis.His character is unchanged, except he is rather sleepy. Not sleeping well at night & sneezing quite a lot also. This dog has been my shadow for 6 years, I can’t help but think the worst. Could anybody provide me insight as to what this might be? All I have done all Sunday morning is hold him and cry. I know loss and grief of pets & family all too well. Would love some advice & support. I cannot shift my focus to anything else. This dog has been with me since he was 7 weeks old, all through my pregnancy, through the loss of my partner, the grief, my battles with ptsd & depression, to my son’s first day of Primary school, and everything in between, a constant companion. I feel absolutely guttered and I don’t even have answers yet. Thank you for sticking it out this long and thank you in advance - his mouth won’t close properly unless he is sleeping. His tongue will also hang out. To swallow and licking makes a clicking sound with his tongue to mouth.
