I gave her a little bit of organic canola oil to see if that might aid in it going through. I did gently massage her neck when she was panicking. I think she is trying to throw up - sometimes they bite at the carpet when they want to throw up - like outside they will eat the grass. I took her outside but nothing happened. I'm worried sick about her cause it can seem ok but maybe block somewhere else....
