Is foam in the mouth something to do with the lung tumor? Marshall all of a sudden has a foamy mouth and I don't know why I'm hoping it's not the pancreatitis back.

Is he drinking? could he possibly be dehydrated? I am thinking of that sticky, foamy gunk that happens when they are dehydrated.
I think a fever comes with the Pancreatitis, right? I am not an expert on any of this, just throwing some stuff out there. Thinking of you both today, Lori,Ty & the gang
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.

He's probably over hydrated from the prednisone. I don't think its pancreatitis bc it didn't get worse. I wonder if it's from the tumor.

Marshall, you come up with the craziest quirks!!
Yep, just guessing on my part too....but thinking more along the lines of an upset tummy......perhaps a little queasy.....or nas he been eating grass...that's right, nothing but snow there!! Not thinking anything related to the tumor though.
And yeah, at least in my experience, pancreatitis comes on pretty quickly and causes a lot of distress and feeling really, really yucky.
Let us know how he's doing.

It can happen when you give them certain medications if they accidentally chew it. Scout got foamy when he bit the antibiotic capsule open by accident the other day.

We did not experience anything like that with Jerry's metastasis. Please consult your vet with any serious concerns!

On a funny note, sometimes Molly J gets a foamy mouth when she licks a toad who visits her on the porch.
