How long has it had this symptom?

Any other symptoms? lack of appetite, less energy than normal, etc?
well.. not really.. it ate its food.. and drank its water..
any excessive sneezing? Dog seem sad or act different when its doing this? Is it like mucous or more like saliva?
no sneezing. its a clear liquid.. its more like saliva..
Could it have gotten into any chemicals? i.e. antifreeze, etc?
nope. i keep everything away from her

Re: puppy question.
Bones and fat are bad. Bones can rip the stomach/intestines causing internal bleeding, massive infection, death. It could probably clog up their gastrointestinal tract too. Plus I really doubt there is much nutritional benefit from eating bones.
The fat can (I think) cause pancreantitis. It's just gonna have to learn to eat puppy food one way or another. It's also way lacking in any nutritional goodness.
Even table scraps would be better than the bones and fat..although people food can give dogs pancreantitis also.
Have you tried feeding it canned food? I hate dealing with canned food but malnutrition sucks.
Edit: Im not a vet, but IIRC, a lack of protein can cause a dog to be stupid, maybe too stupid to want to eat real dog food? I'll ask.

If you're a balla, get some Pediolyte (a baby diarrhea liquid medicine, similar to gatoratde but not as sweet)
