Prickly pear cactus is also used for medicine. Prickly pear cactus is used for type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, alcohol hangover, colitis, diarrhea, and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). It is also used to fight viral infections. In foods, the prickly pear juice is used in jellies and candies.
Drooling is usually caused by excess saliva in the mouth. Medical conditions such as acid reflux and pregnancy can increase saliva production. Allergies, tumors, and above-the-neck infections such as strep throat, tonsil infection, and sinusitis can all impair swallowing.
Dogs drool when they see food, and some dogs also drool when they are excited, scared, or nervous. Very often, excessive dog drooling is caused by something or some disease inside the dog's mouth. Therefore, if your dog suddenly drools a lot, use a flashlight to examine his mouth carefully. To prop his mouth open, use a tennis ball or similar object.
