I would just keep and eye on it. If he seems to be ok and no other symptoms, then I wouldn't worry about it.

What would cause it, any ideas? My other half seems to think it could just of been extra saliva from eating?? Would that be something that could happen?? Thanks for your help x

I am not sure what the cause could be. I don't think it is extra saliva from eating. Again I would just keep and out out and see if you notice it again.

I've seen this happen when they eat something too large and it takes them a while to get it down. Serve in smaller pieces, should alleviate this.
