his breathing got back to normal. he's walking on my bed a little, and made a loud sneezing noise. i think he's back to normal. he's looking for a place to hide and go to sleep, but i'm kinda afraid to let him sleep. i'm just gonna keep an eye on him for the moment and play it by ear. he's not showing any signs of struggle, or difficulty. just tired.
Tracie, that is possible. He had his head very low and way 'gulping' the water. he would just open his mouth and swallow, so getting up his nose is definitely possible.
Thanks Jiffy, I didn't even think to search for anything similar. Mind was going too quick!
