Stampenstein got his lumps drained today

Dr. W let me watch. Stampy got all woozy and fell down. He was really funny. It was viscous blood that came out, not saliva like I thought. Dr. W says that if they clog up again, she'll have to put him to sleep, then try to unclog them. She used a more technical term.
She said that Odin could have had a stroke, and that's why he's being odd with his back end. The gurgling she had no idea about because if it was fluid in his lungs, it should be all the time, not just at night, and he should be coughing, softly. She said that he might be growling and snapping at me because he feels like he's on pins and needles (like when our leg falls asleep) and so she suggested acupuncture.
Hopefully tomorrow his Holter results will be back.
I am sooo a regular at the vet now.
