choke or hiccup?
« on: January 07, 2012, 08:34:11 PM »
Tonight Raisin was drinking her water and all of a sudden she made a hiccup like sound. She then made sneeze sounds for a little bit. If it was in fact choking, is there anything I can do to prevent her from getting pneumonia?

Is this the same one that is having the eating issues?  If not it sounds like she might have just gotten water in/on her nose while she was drinking.

No this is a different one. That's what the vet said too. How will I know if the water has entered her lungs?

I think she would have been having more coughing.
