Calcium-oxalate crystals instantly burn the mouth and throat — pets rarely eat much, but the pain is severe and airway swelling is possible.
Symptoms
Sudden pain, drooling, head shaking, mouth swelling, trouble swallowing.
What to do
Rinse the mouth; swelling or breathing trouble needs an urgent vet visit.
