Katy...what a relief! I will keep Moo in my prayers that the apple chunk
will pass through him without any problems. The fluids and extra food is
a good idea.</span>

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?
