<p>Our 7 month old male basset has begun to drool quite considerably overnight. The tips of his ears have remained fairly wet and his mouth is dripping. He is chewing quite a bit. Could he be drooling like this because he is teething? Is he too old for this kind of teething? He recently had an ear infection but he seems to be over it. Am I just an overworried new Mom? :-) Thanks, Laura and Major.</p>
