Monitor your dog and try home management
- Contact your regular vet if any of these signs develop: excessive drooling, pawing at mouth, bleeding from mouth, swelling.
- Home management may not fix the problem, and it is best for your veterinarian to conduct a COHAT (Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment) to find the underlying cause.
- If home management doesn’t improve the situation or if your dog starts to show signs of irritation in the mouth, you’ll want to contact your vet even sooner.
