Hello!
My 4 month old Holland Lop doe is drooling on the left side of her face.
I noticed it yesterday when I was grooming her but I dried it and thought maybe she just got too hot or stressed from the grooming. But I checked on it again today and there is more drool...only on her left side.
She seems fine otherwise...eating, hopping around and acting normal.
The first thing I checked was her teeth to look for malocclusion or other dental issues but her teeth look perfect. I shaved the drool spot to check for an abscess but there's nothing there!
Is it possible she had a heatstroke? It seems unlikely seeing that she has no other symptoms though :idunno
Any ideas on what could cause this?

Is she still drooling? If she is otherwise ok, I'd just watch her close. Keep her cool. Are your rabbits in outside hutches or hanging wire cages in a barn? Can you put an oscillating fan blowing in her direction to circulate the air?
