Jack gave me quite the scare last night,i was in the laundry going to do a bit of washing when i heard gagging and a strange noise,i quickly rushed into the room and Jack was making such a loud raspy noise that sounded like it was coming from his chest...i immediatley started to panic cause i didn't know what to do...i was going to rush him to the emergency vet,but he had gagged kind of thing a few times and then i knew he was choking...man..i just didn't know how to help him....but after about 5 mins the raspy noise went away and he stopped gagging.. he seemed a little distressed after that....but he did eventually eat a bit of veggies....and when i finally went to bed at 12 midnight..he had eaten more veggies so i knew he was going to be ok.
He was absolutely fine when i got up 4:30 in the morning to check on him...he ate the few pellets that i had given him....thank goodness he's ok....but boy did it scare me!
Cheryl, I worry about that sort of thing. --What would I do? I have a regular vet, and an emergency clinic, but I just try to not think about those things.
ReplyDeleteGordon,it was the first time i had experienced one of my bunnies choking,i just went into an automatic panic...i hope it never happens again to any of my bunnies.
ReplyDeleteThat five mins or so seemed like such a long time.
