A trip to the vet...

Copper got into a trash bag full of rotten camping food, primarily plastic wrapped cheese slices. He then threw it up in various locations around the house. Josh found him shaking on the floor of the dart room and got him outside where he began to seisure. I went to Fisher to get Webb and then all four of us headed to the Vet. The vet seemed very calm about the whole thing, as though it wasn't a big deal. She did mention that his temperature was 108.7 which is "very bad" but other than that, she didn't make it sound like it was something to worry about. He is to stay overnight in the vet where he will hosed down and covered with ice packs to cool him down. In the morning they'll run some blood work on him and give us a call. Its strange how routine she made the entire event seem. I'll update tomorow when I know more.
