Laura and I went back to the park to try and figure out what Homie may have eaten.

Using flashlights we discovered that over the bench I was sitting on was a massive tree, dropping lots of leaves. The leaves look infested with a strange fungus which after some Googling turns out to be called Nipple Gall (not making the name up! ). See attached pic.

Now while Nipple Gall itself isn't toxic trees with it are often treated with insecticide....

...So we suspect he got insecticide poisoning. Symptoms seem consistent.

Just called the vet. He seems to be doing better and is now barking at them. Fingers crossed though. Will keep you posted.
