Foxtail?

Henry, our beloved furry friend, has been dealing with some issues the past few days. On a hike with Kelsey, he somehow ingested a mysterious plant that has left him with questionable symptoms: eating everything in sight (including couches, trash, fibers of any sort, grass), unquenchable thirst, licking his chops 24/7 (which leaves his whole mouth wet and at times foaming), making a burping sound as he licks his chops, and restlessness. Norah was terrified that it was rabies at first but we are pretty sure that it can be ruled out after the vet trip. Caiti seems to believe this is a result of eating a "fox tail," not fox the animal, it is a plant (kind of like a cat tail, but smaller)

The alleged "foxtail"

Though his health seems to be improving day by day, he had us all worried for a bit. Kelsey and Norah took him to the vet early Saturday morning, however, the vet's advice didn't prove to be very helpful. Turns out that the Bendaryl and love was all he needed to be nurtured...well, that and the weird ball of random ingested objects that he threw up ON my bed...I will love you always Henry, even if you vomit on my bed!


In other news...today is the birthday of Miss Caiti as well as our wonderful friend Nicole! Happy Birthday gals!
