My miniature wire-haired daschy seems to like licking metal (&windows! ) but she froths at the mouth excessively. 1st noticed when I took her to the doggie parlour, and she was in one of the cages. She had been washed and dried but when i picked her up her entire front (mouth, chest legs) were drenched with froth (saliva ?) Even wire fencing has the same effect. Why is this ? Is it dangerous to her health ? What causes it ? What can I do about it ?
On another note, my neighbors have guinea-pigs (wire cage mentioned above). She is fascinated by them. I think that she just wants to play as she loves cats. Is it playfulness or does she want to hunt & kill as her breed as a “hound – hunter” depicts? She has never killed anything before (now 3yrs old) – and mostly tries to catch Geckos!! – should i be concerned that she might hunt them ? i can’t imagine that she would ever hurt anything.. ????
