My QH started this on Monday. He's got scratches on his front feet that I'm doctoring so I've really learned to leap fast when the mouth opens up and the gush of spit comes out. I hate spit unless it's my own, so you're braver than me to investigate their mouths. Called the vet on Tuesday because it went away during the day but was back worse on Tuesday am. They asked if I had a persimmon tree in the pasture. Why, yes, I do. She laughed, verified it with the other vet and said just keep water in front of them. He's not drooled since then, and like your horses is just fine in all other regards. I have to assume they're correct and that Justin decided to try a new taste treat and has since decided they aren't so good after all. Maybe this is your problem too?? Casey in awful, humid Alabama
