Take him to the vet, ASAP. Even if its an after hours/24hour emergency and not the vet you usually use.Try cupping water in your hand for him to drink from. If he won't take it, try letting him see you dip your fingers in his water bowl and try to wipe the water on his mouth or gums. To renew in his mind its OK. For now, see if he will take light Kayro syrup off a spoon for you. Good Luck. Poor dog. You are about out of time.

Dogs are good learners and poor forgetters. The excessive intake of salt water and the vomitting sensations it bourght about the dog will take a long,long time to forget.
This may be the most likely reason. But unusual distaste even fear of water and the excessive salivating could have more serious implications. It might have been bitten by a mad dog on the beach and got the contagion. Take him immediately to a vet and satisfy yourself that this is not the case.

Get him to the vet. Any time an animal won't drink is time to go to the vet. They can dehydrate quickly. The drooling is not good either. It could be any number of things including rabies. Take him to the Vet. Good luck

It means he should go to the vet asap. Sea water is not good for a dog, and can seriously dehydrate him. The fact that he's not drinkiing other water may mean he's ill, or that he's afraid it's more sea water. In any case, he's probably quite dehydrated, and the vet may need to intervene. A lot of drooling can mean he is, to keep it simple, toxified, poisoned, in a sense

Special materials and chemicals are in the salt water.And cause the dog to drool it out continuously.And it probally also causes the dog to not have a thrist.Or it's probally something else like parasites.Or some kind of sickness.

Take him to a vet. It could be an ulcer or something in his mouth that is making him drool or it could be something more serious. Get him checked asap

A couple of days ago we had something similar. The drooling is because of pain the doctor told us.

Take him to the vet. Try ice if he will not drink water. He needs water to live

Take him to the vet or he will dehydrate. It almost sounds as though he drank something more sinister while there like antifreeze. Have him examined ASAP.

Agree with everyone about the dehydration, best to get a check up done for your own peace of mind
