Whew. Mozart is recovering now in our bathroom. What a morning. I was a nervous wreck.
Last night Hubby took Mozart for a walk outside, and let him eat some grass (not supposed to let him!) :roll: Mozart started hacking every so often, but it wouldn't come out. After doing a search for other stuck grass cases, I decided I would wait for his regular vet. I watched him most of the night for any extra distress.
At office opening time, the vet was able to see him immediately. 40 minutes later, she showed me a 3 inch piece of stalk she removed from near his larynx. She's also concerned about his right lung, maybe inhaling some seeds, but couldn't find anything on the xrays. He was such a good boy, and only growled at the receptionist.
So we're watching him like a hawk over the next week for lung infection. Meanwhile, he already looks happier, and I'm hearing footsies under the door as I'm typing this, so he must be feeling better. What a relief.
