I've had my shih tzu for 5 months and every month or so I get up to find him drolling a lot which makes all his chest and belly wet, although he's ok in himself. It usually lasts the day and I have keep drying him. What could be wrong with him?

He might be about to throw up. That's when dogs normally drool like that. But, if he does it all the time, you might want to consider asking your vet.
