If an ulcer is present then you especially do NOT want
to be applying pressure.

Update.
I'm sorry for disappearing for a few days but I have been absolutely exhausted from spending my entire time at the vet clinic.
Since I last posted I have been going there to get him liquids and his now regular shots of steroids, antibiotics and vitamins. I'm not sure if he's doing better tho. His temperature has luckily gone up and he is a little more lively but still doesn't much.
There is a new issue that has appeared and Id really like some information. Since the vet gave him some med against vomiting, he has been doing this weird thing where he kind of fills his mouth with saliva and moves it between his teeth. Now that has cause his stomach to fill with this saliva which his now full of air. He seems to be chocking on it and having a hard time breathing. Sometimes he is able to throw it up and it appears to look like white foam.
When we give him some famotidine this thing stops for a couple of hours but then starts again. And its horrible to watch him having difficulty breathing. It slightly resembles a person who has been sick and has lungs full of mucus and a cough and kind of choke on the mucus when they're not able to fully cough it out.
I should mention that after the anti puking shot he got I insisted that the doctor doesn't give him that anymore so the fuzzy only got it once.
By the way he has also vomited today and there seemed to be some blood in there so I'm thinking it must be an ulcer.
Is there somewhere I can press to make him throw up?
