[Dailydrool] Still learning about Daisy the bassett

[Esther Strom]

As Dale mentioned in a previous message, it could be reverse sneezing.
However, that doesn't usually result in grass-eating and water-guzzling. I
would watch her very carefully for signs of bloat if this happens again. My
Waldo bloated several times during his life - we managed to get him to the
vet before the torsion phase each time, but every episode started exactly
as you've described.
