If he also drinks a lot and is more hungry than usual, it could be Diabetes. It's rather common with older dogs, but it is possible at much younger age. If he has a seizure you could feed it a strong sugar solution with a syringe without a needle.

I would strongly suggest seeing a vet as soon as possible, whatever it is! Seizures are very heavy on the heart, and he could not survive the next one.

Mucus and saliva from the throat is mixed with the rapidly moving air (breathing goes beserk at this time), aerating it to create foam.

why does my brother start shaking and foaming from the mouth when he sees flashing lights?

Your brother is having seizures due to the flashing lights. There is an electrical problem which causes shaking foaming at the mouth, gritting teeth, moving head and extremities and vocal noises. Protect his head and time the length and attributes of the seizure being careful not to put any objects in the mouth or restrain movement. After the seizure is done lay him the side recovery position to allow secretions to drain from mouth and in case of vomit. Clean him up and put him in bed as postictal he will be sleepy. Document each seizure and it's characteristics so that the doctor is made aware of the frequency and duration and movement type of the seizure as well as time per seizure. Do not put foreign objects in mouth or deter movement..protect head and call 911 for emergency services to take them to the hospital for observation and evaluation of medication to find the right med to reduce frequency of seizures and events surrounding the seizure. Doctor will determine if. More meds diet changes, activity modification, nap changes counseling, special accommodations are needed to adapt independent so that he would need to function daily.

IF your dog gets a foamy mouth without any bit of excitement but doesn't have behavior change is rabies a possibility?

foaming at the mouth is not always a symptom of rabies, rabies causes animals to lose all sense and go wild, so why would they stop calmly for a drink? foaming at the mouth just means that they might not be hydrated enough. But this doesn't mean that you shouldn't consult your veterinarian if you are very concerned.

What drug makes a person so high they start foaming out of mouth?

If someone has been out partying and starts foaming at the mouth, i would look for other signs of a drug overdose first, right after calling 911.Are their lips were turning blue, eyes rolled back in head, slow breathing, that sounds like an opiate OD, u can also look for trackmarks, indicating iv drugs would have been used, most likely heroin, or some other melted down pill,etc... An addict will inject anything if that's what they're into. Foaming at the mouth has been associated with bath salts also, where the user seems to become extremely agitated, sometimes escalating to violent. If you r seeing this foaming at the mouth, don't waste time questioning it,call 911
