Best Answer

Thick, sticky, or slimy saliva may mean that your canine (dog) may be dehydrated, perhaps giving your dog more water, and play less under the sun until he/she gets better, anyways, he/she should always have an unlimited amount of water in his/her bowl, no dog should be without water. In conclusion, the answer is: Your dog may be dehydrated.
