And I feel like bawling like a baby.
I am so scared for him. I know that he feels better now, but I am still worried.
He was out on a walk with my mom and her friend noticed when he looked up at her and then started to walk kinda funny like he was going to fall over. Mom picked him up before he did fall over, and carried him home. I'd just finished loading up my supper plate and she got home, looking worried.
She asked me to hold him so she could move her truck, and he. was. lethargic. He just flopped down in my arms. I started to cry because I was so scared. I am going to take him to the vet tomorrow. Even though he seems better now.
Hopefully, it won't be a new, continual thing.
We are hoping that it may just have been caused by him either
a) eating weeds that were sprayed with weed killer (which we will keep him away from- it's in the garden so we never thought anything of it).
or
b) he may or may not have eaten an ant... that may or may not have been poisoned... and that miniscule amount of poison could have triggered it, (we had some ant-infested pieces of wood on the side of the house, and the ants started to come into the house. Mom sprayed the yard with ant killer and poison, and they have still been coming in the house, though more in the basement than the kitchen. I killed one when I went upstairs to use the washroom last night, and because I just got back downstairs and wanted to get back to bed, I left it there till morning. (Tired + LAZY = NO GOOD.)
When I got up, the was-definitely-dead-when-I-left-it ant was gone. I didn' really think much of it. Then, later, I saw a dried up yellow spot on Patches' bed in the living room, and washed his blanket. I never thought anything of the fact that he'd been sick. He was also really babyish today, more than usual. He was pawing at my leg, more of a tapping/patting than his usual scratch or stretch. He wanted to be picked up. A lot. I never really thought about it.
Back to the abc's,
c) it could be just about anything. Who knows? That's why I am bringing him to the vet.
Sigh.
Now both me and him have to go see our doctors tomorrow.
Hopefully we will both get good news.
TAK.
