That's one symptom to a respiratory infection. Others include, breathing through the mouth a lot, pointing it's head upward for long periods of time sometimes at the same time as the mouth breathing, and if it's really bad, mucus bubbles can start coming out of it's mouth and nose. To be safe, you should take it to a Vet and have it checked out. If it's a RI then it's better to catch it early then let it get worse.
