Since I posted this, Cooper has spent an entire day at the vet hospital. He woke up yesterday morning and his entire chest was wet from drooling and 1/2 of his body looked as though he was sweating. He had been in bed with me and was on top of the covers so it wasn't from excessive heat. They checked him over really well and only found two small cuts on his tongue. They have no idea what/why this is happening. We're hoping that he may have eaten something outside that upset his system and is going through withdrawal type symptoms. He seems a bit better today.
I was really, really concerned for him yesterday.
He was administered anesthesia twice -- once to be able to do a very thorough exam and xrays (to rule out that he swallowed something sharp due to the cuts on his tongue) and once for him to be scoped down his throat to be sure no plant material was lodged there causing a reaction.
He's acting his normal self today but still woke up with drool this morning again.
I'll update this in a few days as he continues on antibiotics to be sure the cuts don't get any more ulcerated that currently are and something else for his intestines in the event that whatever is causing this has not passed through his entire system yet if it was something he ingested.
