Foaming at the mouth sounds
so ominous, especially when speaking about any wild animal and definitely when
discussing a domestic pet it is downright frightening!
Not to worry, Skipper has had
all his shots, including rabies, and even if he hadn’t he is never ever left
outside alone; he is always with Hubby or in the old days me.
And although he has gone nose
to nose with our local opossums neither has bit the other, plus they are less
likely to carry rabies than our roll out of feral cats over these last few
years that seem to love our yard too.
So his foaming and spitting
was due to an ingesting property, sadly administered by either Hubby or dare I
say or me! Nay! This one was purchased by me, but Hubby gave it to him with me
encouraging/egging him on to do so. Those drops from the holistic online
company appear to be the cause of his diminished appetite and foaming at the
mouth! All we know is that it happened when he was given it and now since he
has not been given it he is no longer foaming with just the Tramadol. He seems
to be eating a little bit more too, yogurt, chicken , even some of his own
kibbles, as well as the Nutri Cal, quite a bit actually, and even some bits of
apple I once again tried sharing, while Hubby was at the post office returning
the drops of herbs of holistic nature. I called them, Natural Wellbeing Inc.
and they have a good return policy, full refund except we had to pay to mail
them back. I suppose for some they work just fine, but for him it appeared to
make it all worse.
Oddly enough that n/d Hill’s
Science diet for cancer too was not liked either and spit out no matter how
many times we tried, but the a/d Hill’s for his upset tummy he ate, even today.
And the raw frozen food seems to work now and then!
If this continues, between
consuming water whenever, but not more or less than usual it seems, and he is
weeing but not doodling without solids in him I suppose that will take time to
start up again? We can only hope.
For the last few days he was
barely eating, except the Nutri Cal, and pain medication every ten to twelve
hours and drinking water when need be, so I sure hope that the additional foods in his
system creates a bit of normalcy.
He sleeps well and cuddles
with both of us taking turns.
Too bad love isn’t enough for
a cure for everything, there would be no more ills anywhere and for us if that
were the case we would have a HAPPY HEALTHY BOG (boy-dog) CHILD!
That’s all folks for tonight,
and so allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night
and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with
you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!
