Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 9 years and 1 month old | 65 lbs
My dog started having excessive saliva come from her mouth about a hour ago after a sneeze attack. I looked in her mouth, did a finger swoop to check if anything was lodged in her throat and felt her neck/throat. I can’t tell for sure but her throat may be swollen. She is perfectly fine other than that, playing, chewing, running, and eating. When should I call a vet or take her to the vet?
