How's Hooch doing today? I didn't think of it at first, as it's winter. But last summer, my Lab Star, who loves to graze on grass and had never before reacted untowardly, suffered a severely excoriated throat (doc said it looked like a fresh tonsillectomey!) due to the lacerating effect of the sharp grass blades. It wasn't but a minute or less after eating that her entire meal would be upchucked. Could it be he might have eaten something irritating to this throat, if not grass, perhaps sticks or something like that?
