ACCEPTED Check Mark

You can give her another 1/4 tablet with no problem. The drooling is more than likely from the first dosage. If she is having any kind of reflux, it tastes horrible and she may continue drooling for quite a while afterwards. Check with your vet tommorrow for further instructions - I'm certain he has a specific treatment plan he wants you to follow when this flares up, and you don't want to deviate from it without checking with him/her first.
