Poor River!

Last night we learned that when dogs are nauseous, sometimes they drool excessively. That's exactly what happened to River, along with diarrhea and vomiting. Evidently, she ate something that didn't quite agree with her. In addition to her drooling like an English Mastiff, she did not welcome us home with her usual song and dance. Worried, we took her to the vet who ruled out any parasites or whatever. They injected fluids underneath the skin on her neck so she would not get dehydrated, gave her a shot to help with the nausea, and sent us home with instructions to give her Pepto if she still had diarrhea. We left home with a little drooling Shiba, and we came back with a little drooling hunchback.

Today, River is back to her usual self, full of energy and attitude, void of drool and barf.
