ʻO ka pōpoki drooling ka hopena o ka hana saliva nui. Kapa ʻia kēia ʻo hypersalivation. Hiki i nā kumu like ākea ke kumu o ka hypersalivation i nā pōpoki. No laila, he mea nui ke kūkākūkā ʻana me kāu kauka holoholona i mea e hoʻoholo ai i ke kumu a noi i kahi kūpono kūpono.

Hana mau ʻia ka huha i loko o ka waha e nā aʻa liʻiliʻi. ʻAʻole ia e mālama wale i ka lua o ka waha, hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka waha akā kōkua pū kekahi i ka digestion o ka meaʻai ma ka lubricating iā ia.

I nā pōpoki, aia he 5 mau hui o nā salivary gland, ʻo ia hoʻi he 10 glands i puʻunaue ʻia ma kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao.

• 4 pālua o nā kaha nui salivary: mandibular, parotid, zygomatic a me sublingual;
• 1 pālua o nā kaha liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi: nā molara (aia i ka waha kokoke i nā molar ma kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao o ke alelo).

Kāhea ʻia ʻo hypersalivation ʻo ptyalism. He mea nui e hoʻokaʻawale i waena o ka hana maʻamau o ka lawaiwai ke hoʻoulu ʻia e kahi stimuli mai ka hana maʻamau. Inā ʻike ʻoe e hoʻomaka koke ka pōpoki o kāu pōpoki i ka nui a hoʻomau ia, a laila aia kahi kumu paʻa. No laila, hiki i ka lehulehu o nā kumu ke kumu o ka hypersalivation i nā pōpoki:

• ʻO ka hoʻouka ʻana o nā aʻa liʻiliʻi: he nui nā hoʻouka ʻana o kēia mau gland e like me ka mumū a i ʻole ke kū ʻana o kahi lehulehu (tumor, cyst) i pili paha;
• ʻO ka hōʻino o ka waha waha: hiki i ka hōʻino ʻia o ka hakahaka waha ke alakaʻi i ka hypersalivation. Aia kahi pēpē (a ma muli paha o ka hōʻino niho, ma kahi tartar), kahi maʻi, ka ing ʻana o kahi mea kanu ʻino a i ʻole lāʻau ʻona, kahi abscess, kahi tumo a i ʻole kahi maʻi ʻino paha, no ka inoa wale nō. ;
• Hoʻokomo ʻia kahi kino haole: ʻo ke komo ʻana i kahi kino haole ke kumu o ka hōʻino ʻana i nā aʻa salivary, waha, pharynx a i ʻole ka esophagus a kumu i ka ptyalism i nā pōpoki;
• Hoʻopilikia i ka pharynx, esophagus a i ʻole ka ʻōpū: hōʻino neurological, reflux gastroesophageal, tumo, pehu, megaesophagus (dilated esophagus) a i ʻole gastric ulcer i pili pū kekahi.
• ʻO ka maʻi Metabolic: ma muli o ke kuni a me ke kōpaʻa ʻole e laʻa me;
• ʻO nā maʻi Neurological: nā maʻi he nui e like me ka rabies, tetanus, nā maʻi e lūlū ai a i ʻole ke hōʻino ʻana i nā aʻa e pale ana i ka pōpoki e ale pono.

ʻAʻole lawa kēia papa inoa o nā kumu a aia nā hoʻouka ʻē aʻe i ke kumu o ka ptyalism i nā pōpoki. Eia nō naʻe, he aha ka mea i hiki ke unuhi ʻia i kekahi manawa ʻo hypersalivation kahi kūkulu maoli o ka luha i ka waha ma muli o kahi pilikia e ale (ka hana o ka ale ʻana) ʻoiai ʻo ka hana lawaiʻa he maʻamau. Kapa ʻia kēia pseudoptyalism.

E like me kāu e ʻike ai, aia nā kumu like ʻole he nui e hiki ai ke hoʻowalewale i nā pōpoki. Maikaʻi paha kekahi akā hiki i kekahi poʻe ke koʻikoʻi i kona olakino a kū i kahi pilikia. No laila, inā ʻike ʻoe i ka pōloli o kāu pōpoki a lele nui, pono ʻoe e kāhea i kāu kauka holoholona nāna e alakaʻi iā ʻoe i ka wikiwiki o kēia kūlana. E nānā inā loaʻa nā ʻōuli ʻē aʻe e like me:

• kahi hoʻololi i ka hana;
• pilikia i ka ale ʻana;
• lilo o ka makemake ʻole;
• ka paʻakikī i ka hanu ʻana;
• pehu o ka waha;
• nā lehelehe a i ʻole nā ​​hōʻailona neurological. 

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo e ʻike inā he haole kāu pipi i kā lākou waha. Eia naʻe, e akahele o lilo i ka nahu. Inā paʻakikī a weliweli paha kēia, mai hoʻokaʻulua e hele i kāu kauka holoholona no ka palekana hou aku.

I nā hihia āpau, pono ke kūkākūkā lāʻau lapaʻau, inā he pilikia pilikia ia. E hana ka mea hope i kahi hoʻokolokolo i kāu holoholona a nīnau iā ʻoe i kahi nīnau e hoʻoholo ai i ke kumu o ka ptyalism. Pono paha nā loiloi hou aʻe. ʻO ka lāʻau e kuhikuhi ʻia i kāu pōpoki e kaukaʻi ʻia i ke kumu i ʻike ʻia.

Hiki ke hana i kekahi mau hana i ka pale. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻoiai he maʻi nui a weliweli ka rabies i hiki ke hoʻoili ʻia i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe a me nā kānaka, pono e hoʻopaʻa ʻia kāu pōpoki e kūʻē i kēia maʻi a mālama ʻia i kēia lā nā lāʻau lapaʻau. ʻOiai ua kūʻokoʻa ʻo Palani i kēia manawa mai ka pākī, nā hihia o ka lawe mai i nā pōpoki a me nā ʻīlio mai nā ʻāina kahi e noho mau ai ka maʻi kolohe i kekahi manawa. No laila, hiki ke pālahalaha koke ka maʻi inā ʻaʻole mālama ʻia.

Eia kekahi, ʻo ka mālama mau ʻana i ka waha o kāu pōpoki, e hoʻopili ana i ka palaki ʻana i nā niho a me ka iho maʻamau ʻana, pale aku i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka tartar akā mālama nō hoʻi i ka olakino waha olakino.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, he mea nui e aʻo e pili ana i nā mea kanu ʻawahia i nā pōpoki i ʻole e hōʻike iā lākou i kēia mau mea kanu e pale iā lākou i ke komo ʻana iā lākou.

I kekahi hihia, mai poina e noho mau ana kāu veterinarian i kāu mea nāna i kuhikuhi. No laila, mai hoʻokaʻulua e launa iā ia no nā nīnau.
