Why do dogs foam from the mouth when they have rabies?

Dogs foam at the mouth when they have rabies because the virus travels through the body and into the saliva glands.

The virus is also secreted in the saliva, thereby successfully spreading it.

Why do dogs drool all over?

Not every dog drools, but many dogs do. When dogs salivate, the saliva can drool out the corners of their flues if they have loose or baggy flues: unlike humans, dogs cannot pucker or close their lips (flues) tightly. Salivation an be triggered by something that the dog wants to eat, or it may simply happen naturally throughout the day, depending on the breed.
