Guest zombrie Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Doolin started doing this: After I ended this video, he started running around trying to eat everything.. his bed, the couch, etc. And then proceeded to vomit 4 times. We put him in the car and may have gone over the speed limit getting him to the vet. The vet looked down his throat and saw nothing but a scratch (of course Doolin screamed bloody murder when the vet opened his mouth, being the big baby that he is). He believes Doolin scratched his trachea and occasionally spasms. He said it can become dangerous if this continues tomorrow morning. If it continues, it is off to the E vet. He cannot eat or drink anything, because it will make him vomit. And he cannot eat anything until the trachea heals to avoid infection(he can have yogurt). Keep Doolin in your thoughts. I HATE the waiting game. By the way, the vet loved that I videoed Doolin doing this, he wishes everyone did that Edited July 18, 2011 by zombrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha_gurl Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm googling trying to find something...has he eaten anything out of the ordinary? Perhaps it's a stomach issue, and not throat?

Guest zombrie Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) I'm googling trying to find something...has he eaten anything out of the ordinary? Perhaps it's a stomach issue, and not throat? Thanks for looking! It's definitely his throat, you can actually see the scratches start in the back of his mouth. He isn't one that eats things, but you never know, he is still pretty new to us. We have a theory that it is the treat he was given earlier. It was really hard and ate it really fast He seemed to have calmed down a lot and his "bouts" weren't so bad. But now he is back to pacing and trying to eat everything in sight, which is completely not like him (he is muzzled) Edited February 22, 2011 by zombrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LindsaySF Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Thinking good thoughts for you guys. My boy Cody has had a few tracheal spasm attacks in the past. Usually in the middle of the night of course. Also a few coughing attacks which turned into spasms. It starts out from something irritating his throat (we usually don't discover what it was, though one time I suspect a piece of rabbit hay, another time I suspect a piece of chicken jerky that wasn't properly chewed). Then he has an attack, which stresses him out, which affects his breathing, which makes him panic, which makes more spasms happen, it just snowballs. For him the best way to snap him out of it is to distract him with a potty trip outside, or give him a cookie. (The swallowing motion seems to help "reset" things). He's never had an attack severe enough to warrant an e-vet visit thankfully. Of course if Doolin is also vomiting, then feeding him might not help and probably isn't recommended. I'll throw this out there, since I come from seizure-land with Sophie. It's also possible it was a focal seizure (which affects a certain part of the body/certain muscle groups, in Doolin's case the throat muscles and lip-licking). Sophie's focals manifest as either jaw-chomping and swallowing, or head shaking side to side. She's still conscious and aware of her surroundings, and she'll walk around while her head and jaws are moving on their own. A tracheal spasm is far more likely given that you can visualize the throat scratches, but I mention it because the frantic eating of things (including furniture) makes me think of the post-ictal state. ~Lindsay~ Edited February 22, 2011 by LindsaySF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
