Okay... back up a little bit. He didn't act weird till right after/during vomiting.
When did he get bathed? Before vomiting or after?
They can aspirate water but they don't usually react the same way as when they aspirate a thicker substance, or a large amount. The thicker substance will block the airway long enough to send them into a panic, eyes wide, hiding behavior, any foreign substance in the throat can make them drool, and many drool just before vomiting. Once the substance clears the airway and they can breathe again, they will calm down and normal behavior will return.
I agree, I think you would have noticed a seizure... but your vet is right, the return to normal is similar in both cases.
If his gums are pink, that's a good sign. If they are more purple or blue-ish, I'd take him in to see the vet asap. Any gurgleling in his lungs (ear to chest), he'll need an xray... |
