Do they put a tube in their throat for the anasthesia? I would think a tube could scratch something in his throat and maybe it's a gag reflex?
In my limited experience, Maggie has only thrown up the white foamy stuff once recently and maybe once when she was much younger. This last time it was after a few hours where she seemed to be gagging, like something was stuck that she wanted to get out. Sort of dry heaves. She dry heaved a few times an hour. After about 2 hours she finally threw up the white stuff, I think 2 times right after each other, then the episodes subsided and stopped. I really think she had aspirated some of her morning yellow bile ( which she will have once a month or so-I should keep track). You know how it gets when something goes down the wrong way?
So, I vote for a throat irritation, or possibly something could be in her lungs, because the activity makes it worse....Definitely worth calling, especially if it's been more than a couple of times. |
