A horse can live several days before the choke will cause sever complications or death. Death is very uncommon with choke. Anyone letting their horse go for more than a few hours choking is irresponsible. And running a water hose down a horse's throat like one post commented is just about the most irresponsible thing I have heard for a choking horse. If the choke doesn't release its self in a couple of hours, CALL A VET. Do not do it yourself, especially with a hose! Good grief.
The symptoms iinforamtion you gave is correct, but that is where it ends. Where you were rubbing your horse is not his treachea, but his windpipe. A horse has a treachea and a windpipe. The treachea actually runs down the left side of your horse's neck. If you had watched your vet when you horse was tubed.. it was tubed wasn't it?... you would have seen the tube going down the side of its neck. If the vet does his job right, no anti-biotics should be needed.
HORSES CANNOT REGURGITATE!!!!!!!!!!! Horses have a closed esophagus which means they can still breathe if something gets lodged in their esophagus. They can cough up the feed or other object stuck in it's esophagus but it cannot regurgitate
Horses can regurgitate! Regurgitation means the food hasn´t reached the stomach yet, but comes back from the esophagus through the nostrils. They can´t vomit! Vomiting means food is coming out of the stomach, that´s impossible for horses.
I just wanted to post again and let you know my horse is fine, I keep thinking about it and gotta admit I did panic at first but I knew I had to be calm to help him, my sis and I laugh now at her screaming at me not to let him go down and me yelling at him to breathe, that vet bill was high but she thought he might have water in his lungs so antibiotics were needed plus pain meds and I walked him all night. I thank God this horse lived.
Thank goodness your horse is ok! We just got in a horse for boarding that is extremely prone to chokeing so I need to give him antibiotics everyday. After Gunner (horse in video) choked, I had to learn all about it. So now everyone's sending thier choking horses down here. lol
My horse choked today, he is a rescue horse just 8 years old, a big red walker and I have only owned arabians, so my first choking, called the vet but she was hours away and he was trying to go down, so I did push the garden hose down his throat alot and he lives, we are paying for anti-biotics just because we love the horse, and radarc I also told this horse he would live, good horse and i did massage his throat and I did watter the poor guy until he couldbreathe.
Hi there again. Your right provenspots, only feed after all symptoms have improved ie, no more retching, neck extension etc. The video does'nt state the importance of this enough. To-day proved that horses dont realise the dangers of what they do, like most animals I suppose! Just because they want to drink or even eat v.soon after a choking episode, does'nt mean it's ok. They can do themselves more harm than good by drinking too soon.
it all happened to-day.. so its fresh in my mind how close this horse was to dying. Keep calm, keep telling the animal he's a "good boy" keep massaging the throat to help, and keep walking him. NO STRESS, everyone keep calm.
This happened to-day to my nieces horse. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES let the horse FEED or DRINK whilst choking. This is a complete NO NO. A vet should be called ASAP, he may give a relaxant to soothe the gut, and anti inflammitory. He may need to stick a pipe down the horses nostrils into the windpipe to remove the obstruction. He more than likely will need a course of anti-biotics to prevent Pneumonia. Put large stones etc on haylage or hay to stop a hungry horse bolting food.CALL THE VET
That is true but you do feed a very small amount IF you think it has gone away. AKA horse not coughing, symptoms stop etc. You still need to get a vet out though to give him/her antibiotics though
Right and thats why I said they will need vetrinary care for nessicary antibiotics! Like I said-My vet called it that and so am I! You call food coming through the nose choke? Even if the horse isn't choaking? Dip shit.
Your sheer stupidness astounds me. Really, it does. Wake up to yourself, the condition is called choke and let me refrase, a COMPETENT vet will tell you so. My god child, go back to school or something, just stop tring to educate people because the only thing you are doing is giving people the wrong information.
Let me think aout it... Because thats what the vet called it? You still havent awnsered my question. What do YOU call emptying the contents due to a blockade of the esophagus.
Ah thank you, I didnt want to get the real sickining part of the food coming through his nose so I down-played it by taking the after shots. But if your horse ever chokes, alot more food and liquid will be coming out. Which is a flag indicating a choking horse. Its a good thing to know and use for referance. Once again thankyou for the friendly comment,
I'm sorry. Its just, I couldnt refuse but to put a perfact comment like that XD It just fit soo well lol. (Only differance is we went to mama marias instead of casa ortega.)lol thier tacos are wayy better
