[Jacob-list] Question on Choking

[Lynette Frick]

I had a ewe choke on hay just two weeks ago, no grain here either. I have
had it happen with my suffolks before, presumably because they are so
greedy, but never with a Jacob. She had foam coming out her nose, and was
caughing up foam for quite a while. I don't have a tube, so was pretty
helpless. Looks like a new tool to add to the list. She managed to get it
up, but had inhaled quite a bit of the foam. If anyone else has this
problem, it would probably be a good idea to give a full round of Nuflor, to
prevent pnumonia, asap. She did get pnumonia by the next morning, had a 106*
temp, but was eating by the next day after her first shot of Nuflor IM.

Hope this helps,
