 Really worried about Maddie
My poor little Maddie is sick. Last evening she had white foam coming out of her mouth and then drooled for a long time after that so her face was drenched. Today she seemed okay at first, though she didn't eat, but many times she doesn't eat in the morn, so I wasn't concerned. I did call to make an appt with my vet and the earliest I could get in was Friday afternoon. Since I made that call, Maddie seems worse. All she does is lay and sleep and didn't even get up when my husband got home. Also, a couple days ago she had what seemed to be a reverse sneezing fit, but it was different than the norm. Since then she lets out a honk every now and then...sleeping or awake. I got to wondering if she had something stuck in her throat, so I opened her mouth and she yelped in pain. I tried again and she did the same. The third time I was able to open it, but can't see her throat because her tongue is in the way. I called my vet at home and he is out of town, so I called the vet on call. He said he thought I could wait until tomorrow to have her seen. I am feeling really nervous about this. She is so lethargic and all she wants to do is sleep. She won't eat or drink, so I'm trying to at least get some water down her. I will be taking her to the vet tomorrow...will have to pay more for a work in appt but she's worth it. I just hope my vet is back in town by tomorrow morn. I took her temp and that is normal, so that's a good thing. So, what do you think...could she have something stuck in her throat? |
