Had a horrible scare earlier today, Riley came in from the garden and started making his 'I'm chucking up a few blades of grass' noise. I went to clear it up and saw what looked like a bee/wasp leg in it so thought I'd give him one of the tablets the vet recommended. He normally gobbles them up in a treat but he wouldn't this time so I thought no problem I'll pop it down his throat as they're only tiny. Seconds later he has spat the tablet out and is foaming at the mouth at an alarming rate. I've never seen so much foam/dribble and he was wretching and sticking his tongue out.
He ran upstairs and was under the bed foaming, I was absolutely terrified. I managed to drag him out and rang the vets (Vets now operate from my surgery out of hours) and explained what had happened, he was alert and a few minutes later was rubbing round my legs (while still foaming at the mouth!) so they said just to monitor him. I had to go to work a few hours later so I put them both in the front room and set the LukeyRiley webcam up so I could monitor him from work. He's absolutely fine and seems to have no ill effects but Tiggy's brother died in almost identical circumstances, he had received a jab of something from the vets which made him foam up and then he died so as you can imagine I was so worried
To top it all off on my way home from work some numpty crossed a dual carriageway without giving way to oncoming traffic ie me! so my car is probably going to be a write off
