Drooling?

Postby Felmarg » Tue Jan 29, 2008 4:48 pm

I just had Zaphod out and noticed he was drooling a little bit. :tasty: He has been asleep for five days and just woke up. He has not done this before. Is this normal?

A little bit of saliva at the edge of the mouth is normal, especially if they are flicking their tongues a lot. I got a bit panicky the first time Quigs did that. but He was fine. It only signals trouble if there is a lot of foamy spittle and usually it comes out the nose and/or eyes then too.

I would say that's normal. My blotchies drool a bit every now and then.

He's probably just thinking about some grub and got a little over excited. I drool a little when I think about ice cream...... :wink:
