HOLY CRAP! Just as I sent that last one, Oscar started coughing, like he was trying to get something out - I had done a search on here for "trouble breathing" and came up with a thread where someone's dog had been 'gagging' and someone else posted about a time where there dog had actually swallowed a chunk of long hair that was still attached to the dog's face, and it was basically just stuck in their throat. Even after reading this, it never occurred to me that Oscar's hair might be long enough to do this!!! And lo and behold, what do I find when I check his mouth while he's coughing? A BIG CHUNK OF HIS HAIR! EWWW, BUT THANK GOD!!! Now he's fine! I can't believe it! I was seriously panicked! THANK GOD FOR YT, I LOOOVE THIS PLACE. I'm so glad I didn't rush him to an ER vet, I woulda felt like such a dope!
YAY! Oscar's fine, he's sleeping peacefully now... lol |
