drinking water choking hacking coughing ?? Ok guys I have syringe fed Bleu and watered him the past 2 months. He know drinks out of his own water bowl and goes so fast he sounds like a pig snorting.. Should I be concerend? I said Bleu Boy calm down and he looked at me and stopped but he sounded horrible! |
anybody? |
hehehe cute, i am sure he just needs to get used to it. poor lil guys has been through so much. |
Vicki, Gino does this when he drinks too fast. I usually pick him up and calm him down and he stops. hes a little piglet :) |
He's probably drinking to fast and I guess it's possible he's getting some up his nose too. Since you've had to syringe feed him for so long, he's probably going to have to get used to drinking on his own again. Poor baby! |
lol.. Layla does that... like right now she is playing VERY hard with her grandma and when she goes to drink she INHALES the water.. then she chokes.. lol.. but she's fine :) he's just relearning... he'll figure it out :) |
Hallee and Gracie drink really fast sometimes are their faces are drenched with water and they hack and cough. We just pick them up and calm them down and they are fine.Usually gently rub their throat. I think this is something normal that happens. |
oh thank you all so much what a relief.. I knew I had read something about it and I was in panic mode kinda so this must be something else I was thinking about... Im glad I have such good connections when it comes to Bleu and his health.. You guys always come running with advice and I appreciate it sooo much.. I love hearing your stories too.... |
Vicki, You can also use a gerbal bottle or a rabbit water bottle this will slow him down.. I know my a few friends that give thier dogs water through one of these. Now babybear drank from a syringe for a long time to.. And sometimes he gets drinking and doesn't think and starts coughing. I worry because I do not want him to asperate it and get pnemonua.. I just say Baby slow down and he will look at me like heck with you this is good.. But he will stop for afew minutes when he starts to cough.. Hope Bleu is doing great without the cast one.. Hope he is giving you a run for your money..LOL please give him belly rubs from Babybear and I.. |
check out these bowls...they are supposed to slow down water and food intake http://www.gwlittle.com/prod/Dining/...owls_1355.aspx |
Pixie drank out of a water bottle at the breeders for 13 months and now a year later every time she drinks she snorts and chokes. Roxie came from the same breeder with a water bottle and she at first was choking and snorting when she drank out of the bowl here but she is getting better. Poor Bleu is just so excited to be able to drink freely!! |
Rosi been coughing and gagging ever since she was a Baby, she just inhales the water, allways scares me ! |
Bleu is doing well... I quit letting him "free drink" I get his water and I put it down and I am right there with him and he is doing good.. Little guy scared his mommy and daddy yesterday .. Ill be honest we thought OH NO CT and I would have just fallen apart ... He was just excited that he was getting to do something all by himself and be a big boy! He is mommys sweet boy.... |
Good to hear! |
