Foaming At The Mouth In A Puppy, What Could It Be?

A puppy who is foaming at the mouth could be suffering from any number of ailments. The cause most people will usually assume is rabies - but it could be any number of diseases or poisonings. The only way to be sure and to get your puppy the best possible care is to get them to a vet as soon as is possible. RSPCA vets often offer heavily discounted rates in a number of circumstances and most vets will cut rates if you make them aware of financial difficulties - they care more about your pet than their pockets.

Without a proper physical examination, possibly including some blood work, it would be very difficult to correctly diagnose your puppy. Internet or telephone diagnoses are often very vague and never totally reliable. Whilst your dog is a puppy though, you should remember that their immune system is not as strong as it will be when it is an adult.

Consider your puppy's behaviour. Is it sexually active? Does it often play with other dogs whilst out for walks or in the park? Could it have come into contact with a stray, or had a bit of rough play with another dog? Once your puppy has hit a certain age it should be given the right vaccines to protect it from disease; has yours had theirs? If your puppy is still too young to go outdoors, has it possibly escaped and come into contact with an animal or plant in the garden? Has its behaviour changed since you noticed the foam, or is it still its usual self?

These questions will help you to identify and isolate the cause of your puppy's foaming mouth, but the bottom line is that it will need to see a vet and likely be given a course of medication.

My pup is foaming from his mouth wont stop crying and his bumping into things

I bought a puppy 3 days ago it started to foam today not really eating or drinking water
it is six weeks old could it have something bad??

Hypersalivation is usually due to nausea or a taste reaction.  There are many things that can cause nausea in a puppy.  Common causes are dietary indiscretion, toxicity, viral diseases like parvo virus, and trauma to the oral cavity.  
People often become alarmed at the possibility of rabies when they hear "foaming at the mouth."  If your puppy has been vaccinated for rabies then do not worry.  If not it is possible but unlikely.  Your puppy would be showing other clinical signs and would have had to come in contact with an infected animal.
Give your puppy a small amount of milk to clear any noxious taste from the mouth.  If the drooling continues have your puppy examined by a veterinarian.

We have a puppy and she just started foaming at the mouth and she is eating and drinking but has the shacks

It could also be distemper, or parvo

It could be rabies. Check with your veterinarian to make sure it's not. It could be rabies, or just a phase that they will eventually grow out of.

Geez... Sounds like he may have gotten fluid in his lungs and may have developed pneumonia.. Is he having trouble breathing??  If he is you've got to get him to a vet if he's going to have any chance of beating it. 

Definitely sounds like something a vet should look at. Is it weezing while breathing? It could also have picked up a virus from another animal it was in contact with. Get it checked out asap.

I would take that puppy to the vet , there could be numerous things,
going on no one can tell you about that but a doctor . I wouldn't
take any chances. Vets or open 24 hours. They also have a credit card
that you can apply for while your there, up to 500.00 limit

If he's really young it could be a nervous reaction to a new setting.  My parents had a puppy when I was younger, the first few nights it woke up and wasn't use to the house it started foaming from the mouth probably because it was unsure where it was and who the people around it were.  If that's the case, once he gets comfortable to his new home and family he should be fine.
