Hello xx So Moo has a little problem, he has some apple stuck in his throat! He
is breathing ok, but is swallowing a lot trying to shift it. This happened a
few hours ago and it doesn't seem to be budging yet. The apple was peeled so it
should just be smooth.
In the past he choked on some sharp oat hay and couldn't breathe, I had to do
the bunny Heimlich maneover to keep him breathing. It took about a week for the
hay to dislodge after the initial problem!!!
This is different though, he has been breathing ok so far. I tried some
heimlich movements but that doesn't seem to be helping. He is refusing food
understandably. He is able to swallow his saliva as I hear him doing this
regularly as if trying to shift it himself.
I gave him a run around the house hoping this would get things moving for him
somehow, but no. And I tried some gentle massages but no. I gave him his usual
metacam in case of inflammation in his throat, and water, but still no
movement. He could swallow the water ok.
Next step is some syringe feed to see if this will help, because it's gloopy
and slippery.
I looked up online what humans do in similar situations where they're able to
breathe, and it recommended bubbly drinks that erode the stuck piece of food
and create gas for burping the food out, so that's a definite no for bunnies!
Other than that the website said about something like butter as it's slippery.
I've heard of bunnies having olive oil before so perhaps a teaspoon of this is
an option? I'd try syringe food first I think. They also say banana as it's
slippery but I can't get him to eat.
I am also hoping that waiting it out will help, also recommended on the
website. As apple does go soggy and slippery when left, so maybe it will just
slip down after a little while longer.
I worry though if it has got stuck in his throat could it get stuck further
down? :(
Any other ideas anyone? Or experiences to share?
Hugs
Katy xx
