    Just saliva could be the beginnings of an RI instead of mouthrot. Is the inside red or black? Is there any cottage cheese looking paste around her gumline? Is there any wheezy sounds, popping, or whistling? Sometimes mouthrot and RI come hand in hand, which your vet would be able to diagnose when he examines it.

    its a normal pink color, no cottage cheese or anything that looks like it shouldnt be there except for the excess saliva. and no weezing or anythingg.
