MMMiii!

I love Taba, my dog. Everyone knows that. I’ve spoiled him a lot. He’s my life right now. I’d figuratively die if I lose him.

Two days ago, I woke up with my bed having wet splotches here and there. At first I thought Taba peed. I switched on the lights and saw that there was pee and poo on the floor. Amazingly, I didn’t step on any of them.

I went back to my bed and was about to check on Taba or spank him for peeing on the bed, but I saw him drooling. Salivating. Excessively. It wasn’t like how Bokbok drools. It was like a leaking faucet. My heart started beating fast. It was 3 in the morning and the Animal Clinic next door wasn’t open yet.

I cleaned up his mess. I was hopeful that he’d stop salivating in a couple of minutes. He didn’t.

I went online and searched for the symptoms he was showing. Excessively salivating. I checked for more possible symptoms. His eyes were a little teary.

The things that I found were scary. Horrifying.

He probably just has an upset stomach.
He probably has been poisoned.
He probably has bloat.

Upset stomach, probably. He didn’t eat anything since the morning the previous day and refused to eat the night before. … And then I realized that was another symptom.

Poisoned. Mama just put flea powder on him. But he’s been using that for months. I don’t really know but it was the most possible thing I could think of.

Bloat. I read that even excessive intake of air can cause bloat. And a dog could die within minutes.
