Monday morning when I left for work, Herny was fine. When I came home at night, he displayed the symptoms I already described. In addition, he was drooling some, and has been very lethargic. Despite this, he walks to all parts of the house (but slowly), climbs stairs and even jumps up to beds. He seems alert in that he is following his normal routine such as getting me up at 6 a.m. this morrning to go outside; and when my wife gave him some water in a little cup (as she usually does when she's getting ready for work) he drank some, but threw it up several minutes later. (That was the first water he took, despite our efforts to get him to drink). The only evidence of anything usual I can find around house, was a deposit of wet vomit near is daily sleeping place in the basement. I examined it and it appeared to have in it the remains of a paper towel or napkin amid food remains. Henry has a habit of chewing paper napkins and tissues, but this appeared at an unusal time. My wife thinks he may have picked up a paper item on the street when she was walking him Sunday night. Right now, his breathing remains heavy and he is lethargic, which are his main symptoms. He does not appear to be in any pain, which I determined by examining him closely. Thanks!
