When I was away...

Saturday, while I was away on a business trip, got a message that my Haiiro wasn't eating and weak. I immediately told the nanny to bring him to the vet and asked what made him so ill. The nanny saw him playing with a frog the eve of Friday. Saturday he was already vomiting. He got poisoned. I got extremely worried because I couldn't be there to hear what the vet would say. When I got back I couldn't visit him as the vet is 60km away from my home and I had to take care of things in the office. I was assured though that he's doing well. Today, I got the message that he's back to his healthy self and he's ready to go back home. Will get him tomorrow. What a relief!

Your pet wouldn't swallow a frog would it?

No he didn't. But his teeth and claws are sharp. It must have punctured the frog and that relaxed the poison.

Surely it is the frog that had poisoned him. Good thing your nanny was able to do just as what you have instructed her to do. Haiiro is so cute! He is a Persian cat, is he?

He is an indoor cat. He's never allowed to go outside at all. There was this tiny frog that got into the house. I was told they pass through the water pipes.

I’m glad he is okay. Frogs carry some nasty pathogens

Frogs and toads both secrete poisons through their skins. Glad your kitty is doing better.

Maybe the frog has some poison defense in its system that it affected the cat. My dog once played with a frog before.
