Brilliant Katherine!!! I was about to prepare syringe feed when I saw your
message. I was wondering what baby food to add to the critical care to help it
be more slippery gloopy! And get this, I bought 4 big tins of pumpkin puree two
days ago for Moo as we can't get it here often but Halloween has meant it's in
the shops. I will open one and try that! (Does it freeze?)

hi Katy

Syringe feeding pumpkin puree may help. My 94 year dad has this
problem sometimes and he needs to drink something thick like V8 juice which
works every time, so that is why I'm thinking smooth pumpkin puree may
work.

Let me know if you try it and if it works. I'm glad Moo can
breathe at least, but still stressful.

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.
<div dir="auto">

</div>
<div dir="auto">
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.
</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
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.
</div>
<div dir="auto">
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
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.
</div>
<div dir="auto">

</div>
<div dir="auto">
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.
</div>
<div dir="auto">

</div>
<div dir="auto">
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?
