Just want to say Im sorry for posting this on the Sick/Emergency thread...I meant to put it on the General or heath board. I know enough by now about this condition,though it still scares me, not to think its an emergency anymore. Boy I sure did panic the first time it happened though. The first time she did it she lived with my son and his gf at college (they were her original owners). It happened on a Saturday night after they were out partying. They called me about 1 am...my son was so upset and panicky. They were in a small college town...the nearest emergency vet was 2 hrs away over dark country roads. Thank Goodness, his gf had not been drinking so they drove all that way just to find out thats probably what it was. Then after she came to live with me she did it in the middle of the night....she also vomited a huge amount of dark liquid at the same time, so I thought she was very ill. 4 am vet visit only to have her stop before we got there and them to charge me $150 to say there was nothing wrong. I did this one other time...this time at 6 am, but ended up leaving before they could see me as I realized she was fine. It is so scary though and each time it happens....Ill admit I get a little panicked. Thanks for all the info...it helps to share this with all of you. I have tried rubbing the throat but it doesnt seem to help....I also tried plugging her nose, but that seemed to upset her more. |
