Covering her with antibiotics for aspiration pneuomonia was a good choice for her course of treatment. We usually give banimine every other day @ 1/2 the dose for (.5 cc per 100# BW)up to 10 days following the choke. This reduces inflamation in the esophagous. Also, it is critical that she not have any grain for about 2 weeks either. Please keep us posted on her progress and call with any questions 317-490-6735.

I have had sheep choke on pellets, in their hurry to get all they can (pigist attitude) they will get them caught in their throat, since they cannot vomit they will foam at the mouth. I have used my version of the heimlich maneuver ... I pick the sheep (goats) up by the back feet and stand them upside down as high as you can then whatever is blocking their throat usually will dislodge, then try to get them to drink as much water as you can. However, I would never be able to stand my llama on his head. Hope Louise is doing better.<br /><br />If people are chocking and are alone they can help themselves if they are choking by bending all the way over and coughing to dislodge food. Also you can turn child upside down if they start to choke to disloge items.Tombstone Livestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022776395762826903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054664815711393688.post-76017776122939216742012-01-04T16:47:40.270-06:002012-01-04T16:47:40.270-06:00You got 'em!You got 'em!thecrazysheepladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835269631172344336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054664815711393688.post-22039036135128654142012-01-04T16:36:16.183-06:002012-01-04T16:36:16.183-06:00Wow that is scary!

Your story brings back memories of my loosing my QH Mare of 30 years (last year this time). Nothing worse than worrying and fretting over a sick animal when the temps are in the teens and the winds are howling. "Nuisance" was almost 40 years old - it was her time - my best horse friend ever - I sure miss that 'ole girl... Lets see too it that Louise pulls through just fine -- and you too... keep rested !!<br /><br />KarenKarens Quilts, Crows and Cardinalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839869002904564355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054664815711393688.post-37813901100010347772012-01-04T13:27:03.557-06:002012-01-04T13:27:03.557-06:00Oh what a nightmare.
