Foaming at the mouth?
I noticed Sunday during a routine check-in that one of my BCC's had a small about of what looked like saliva, if you will, just out the tip of his mouth. Nose was clear, no bubbles or other sign of URI, and this saliva is not apparent now. One small bit to add to the concern is that he didn't eat last night where normally he's a pretty aggressive eater.
Is this most likely a URI? Obviously I'll keep a close eye on him, and continue monitor his eating, just wanted some opinions.
Thanks as always!

Re: Foaming at the mouth?
Thanks for confirming. I was curious since there isn't the customary runny nose.

Re: Foaming at the mouth?
ya, my guy has had 2 ri's (BP) neither time did he bubble at the nose till we were at the vet, just some saliva out of the mouth and not eating (he's pretty voracious feeder)
sounds exactly like what my guy does when he gets an RI

Re: Foaming at the mouth?
So, quarantine, increase humidity and temp a few degrees?

Re: Foaming at the mouth?
I'm not sure but I think it's standard to just raise the humidity.
You don't hear a continuous popping when he breathes, do you?
I'd quarantine as well.

Re: Foaming at the mouth?
It is breeding season right? How old is your BCC and is it a boy or girl? One of my males went off feed and has been pissed lately though he is calming down again. I think his hormones were just off. Its his first season of sexual maturity. Kinda big boy 6 foot and about 6 pounds 2 yrs old. Dropped 2 plugs over the past couple months in his water dish. Hope that was just water on his/her mouth and just went off fead due to season. If your worried take him to your vet

Re: Foaming at the mouth?
No popping noises or wheezing at all.
He's a 2010.

Re: Foaming at the mouth?
DEFINITELY raise the humidity. You want to keep the mucous in the lung moist so that it eventually moves its way out. If you decrease the humidity you run the risk of the mucous hardening and impeding breathing.
Get the humidity up over 80% and increase your temps a good five degrees. Also head out to a vet for a culture.

Re: Foaming at the mouth?
So you do raise heat as well as humidity. I couldn't remember as I've heard it discussed and even argued to the point I couldn't remember. I did know to raise the humidity.
