Maybe, but foam usually means rabies
No, it does not. Many dogs have foamy saliva and profuse drooling and are in the best of health.
Foam is air mixed with saliva There are two kinds of saliva: an aqueous form, and a thicker, mucus type. When a dog has a seizure, it's breathing speeds up, it usually salivates (both types) profusely from the nervous stimulation which is producing the seizure. This and the chomping seizure activity mixes the respiratory air with the saliva and it appears foamy.
Dogs pant when their body temperatures rise. Since they have no sweat glands as we do, they cool themselves by passing air over their tongues. Panting increases the airflow over it and hopefully, if it's wet, the air will evaporate the moisture from the tongue and thereby cool it, a bit. On hot summer days, when the humidity is high, most animals that rely on some degree of evaporation to help cool themselves suffer. We think it's muggy, and sweat profusely, but little of it evaporates and we stay uncomfortable. A dog is just as bothered by high humidity as we are.
