    Watery mouth discharge

    On two occurrences now i have picked up my BP and had this watery discharge dribble out of her mouth. It is totally clear, it looks just like water but some of it got on me and it seems sort of salivaish. like is has some stretchiness to it. both times i think she just had been drinking but im not sure. She is eating fine and had a clean shed a couple weeks back, she doesnt seem to be acting irregularly in any other way. Is she just losing the water she may have drank or is this a problem?

    It happens, especially if right after they have drank like you said.

    well i just tried to look in her mouth to check for discoloration and she absolutely wouldnt let me, which is normal. shes a fighter. but more of that clear drooly water spilled out. now, it was about 20 minutes ago that she may have been drinking. was this just because she was stressed for me trying to get in her mouth? she gaped for a second and her mouth looked decent but i didnt get a really good look.

    Pick her up in a half hour, and push gently on her throat and the underside of her jaw. If stuff comes out of the corners of her mouth, suspect a respiratory infection. See if you can feel a rattle in her lungs when she breathes.
