I took out my year old ball and decided to go for a drive with my friend driving of course. Anyways and we take off, I noticed my shirt had a wet spot on it (he's just slithering around). Later i found a whole drip of liquid substance on car seat !!! As if he vomitted or something. Prior to that he kept opening his mouth and closing. I just felt like taking him out for a bit, he's been in his hide for a long time.

Experts ,any ideas ???

thx alot for ur help

Is it possible he just took a drink before you got him out ?
I have heard of this before...It may have been all it was.
Anyone else ?

Get him to a vet, it sounds like a RI.

Even if i only saw it that time ... i mean with RI shouldn't i notice it always ?

She is correct in being worried about RI, and should be thanked for posting what she did, but as I said, it sounds like regurgitated water.

Sounds like he got a drink, and it came up from being moved around too much (don't worry about it). I'm sure he would be much happier staying in his hide.

That's what i was thinking also ... but he should have been sleeping, it was 3 in the afternoon.

thx for the input !
