Kota
The day we found out that Syd died, Kota got into some chocolate and gave us a good scare. He ate a lot of it and was throwing up a lot and drinking a bunch of water. I thought that was good because he was getting it out of his system. A couple hours later though, he started stumbling and couldn't walk and started screaming in pain. We rushed him to the after hours vet and they had to do an IV plus charcoal to induce vomiting and give him an antidote every 3 hours. His breathing was slow and his heart rate was very rapid and it took a few hours for it to go down. They were worried about possible seizures which thankfully never happened. We got him there in time for the right treatment. They had to keep him overnight and I called and checked on him a couple times through the night. I was able to pick him up the following morning. He was still pretty lethargic through the day, but otherwise he is fine. He has to have some meds for the next week. I was so upset over it all because it was my fault. I left the chocolate out. He climbed on the couch and onto the table where it was. I’m just so thankful he pulled through. I don’t know what I would have done if not.
