Thread: Suddenly Coco Puff is sick!; *Update*; had to rush him to the vet

    Suddenly Coco Puff is sick!; *Update*; had to rush him to the vet

    I think it's from one little treat that I gave him this morning. I usually give Greenies but I had some Denta Bites and I gave him only one. A few minutes ago I heard him slurping and I thought maybe he had some cat hair stuck in his mouth as if often the case from grooming but it's because he was ready to vomit. He really let it out, too. Then I heard him cry downstairs and I went to find him and he had really loose stools in the litterbox and vomited there, too, poor little guy. He never gets sick on food, never, so that's it for those treats. Boo and Creamsicle each got one, too, and they're fine so, obviously, they just don't agree w/him. He's lying on his belly in the basement w/his front legs outstretched. I sure hope this passes as quickly as it came on. Maybe spare a prayer for him, please? I keep wiping away drool from his mouth.

    Oh no! Poor Coco Puff. I hope he is feeling better soon.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Poor baby!

    I hope this will be over quickly, if it was a reaction to the treat.

    Chicken baby food and warm water!

    HUGS to precious Coco Puff!

    I've been all over the house trying to see what he could've gotten into. There's nothing. I don't have house plants, all cleaning supplies, etc. are under the sink behind the doors. I just don't know. I put in a call to Dr. Lee but he's gone for the day and Dr. Feeman won't be back til 2 and he's by himself today so he might not be able to call me back right away. Coco had drool dripping from his mouth and I've wiped it away 3 times but that seems to have stopped now. I'm supposed to be running important errands now but I'm afraid to leave him.
    Blessings,

    Oh my. I don't think one treat could have made him that sick. I hope he will be okay. Kitty prayers going out.

    I just checked on him and he was hiding under a chair in the basement, drool coming out of both sides of his mouth. Why does this stuff always happen where there are no vets available?

    Healing prayers and wishes being sent your way.

    The drool concerns me. Kuhio used to get long, slobbery drool when she was stressed.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Oh, NO! Coco Puff, poor baby! Could the drool be tooth problem and the food just happened to coincide?
    Prayers....let us know....

    I suppose anything's possible. I checked his mouth and gums and they're pink. He doesn't appear to have any bad teeth but he could, I guess. He was just at the vet's not too long ago and all was ok there. His tail is thrashing like a whip!

    I would get him to the closest vet available ASAP! I have had to do this when my vet was not available. I wish I had an answer as to why they always do this when your regular vet isn't there, or better yet, on weekends! It never fails, does it?

    Well, he doesn't seem in distress now like he did before. Then he was licking his lips and crying. Now the drooling has stopped again and he's in the meatloaf position but he seems calm. So I'm going to run a few of those errands because tomorrow I have appts. til early afternoon and I won't be able to get them done. When Dr. Feeman calls me, I'll be sure to post what he said.
    Blessings,
    Mary
