I got home after seeing a friend tonight and Nikita was very happy to see me as per usual. Then she went to eat some of her dry food and bang! she started coughing and wheezing a bit and eventually threw up some white foamy looking saliva with a tiny bit of blood in.
I immediately phoned the local emergency vet since it's 11pm here. They said that since she was not having trouble breathing to wait and see and not bring her in. Rather take her in tomorrow if she was still not back to normal and then only feed her soft food for a few days now since her throat is probably a bit scratched up.
It's horrible to see her like this though
Coughing and retching. I gave her a tiny little bit of wet food (just remembering that when I've had stuff stuck in my throat soft foods usually made me feel a bit better) and she ate that and didn't seem to have any trouble getting it down.
I'm still really worried though
poor girl, I hope it's like the e-vet said and it was just food that got stuck in her throat and is gone but her throat is a bit scratched up by that so she'll still be bothered for a bit.
Argh!
So yeah well wishes for her would be appreciated, she's breathing fine but any noises from her mouth seem amplified somehow and she's still swallowing noticably, coughing sometimes and looking uncomfortable and very subdued to how she normally is.
