Im more of a lurker nowadays but i do value the opinions of others unbiased views as im a serial worrier/overreacter...
so...pony choked last week on her brekkie, dislodged it by massaging her throat... did it again a few days later....again no nose runs etc - just a block. She did this for the first time when i got her a year ago and i think scared herself as she stood there almost shaking the poor sod. All good no further issues.
Since the choke (2 weeks ago ish), shes developed a nasty cough, like rasping, whether eating hay/feed etc i wet her feed anyhow since our first incident last year, but now ive turned it into slop to help her a bit...
The cough sounds almost lke air passing rather than just a cough (its so hard to explain).... she basically sounds like someone with a really bad chest...I just figured it was a general cough....shes quieter than normal admitidly and last night/fri drunk far more water than normal.... nothing else is "wrong" im assuming this water drink has something to do with the cough...?
I AM getting the vet out anyhow (for unrelated issue - and now this), but wondering if theres anything i can do for her or try? or what the hell is up with her???
She is eating as normal, drinking more in the past couple of days like i said, soaking the hay now and slopping the feed....
thanks.
