Why does a dog's mouth flow out of a viscous liquid?
1. The most common cause may be oral infection.
1. Oral infection is one of the most common problems in dogs. In some dogs, there will be a large amount of bacteria inhabiting the mouth. If the mouth is not cleaned regularly, bacteria will multiply, forming tartar (i.e., precipitates formed by bacteria) around the mouth and teeth, which eventually evolve into tartar. The formation of these deposits and tartars can stimulate the oral mucosa and cause oral pain, and the mucus in the outlet cavity of the dog may be caused by oral pain. There are many teeth and are prone to eating oral bacteria. They will also eat various debris during the diet, which are common factors in oral infection.

Other health problems may also cause this situation. For example, if the dog's teeth are loose and the gums are inflamed, it can also lead to an increase in the secretion of fluid in the mouth. In addition, the occurrence of oral tumors and other diseases may also cause this symptom.
2. How to prevent this problem?
First, you must develop the habit of brushing your dog's teeth every day and the habit of cleaning your teeth regularly. This can remove tartar and tartar from the mouth, prevent oral infection, and thus reduce oral pain. Secondly, pay attention to dietary hygiene. Avoid letting your dog eat too much miscellaneous items and give your dog less fermented foods and foods that are prone to tartar. In addition, you can also perform oral hygiene physical therapy for your dog at home, such as sterilizing oral rinsing the dog's mouth.
In short, mucus flowing in dogs' mouth is a common health problem that many dogs will face.

If there are other abnormal symptoms in the dog's mouth, such as bad breath or tumor, it is even more necessary to seek medical treatment in time.
