This has never happened in the 3.5 yrs of us feeding raw and it scared the CRAP outta me. I was feeding the kiddos breakfast and they were having 1 really large turkey neck each and a some other goodies. When the weather is bad I feed them on a towel in the kitchen while I do dishes or other things. I pretty much ALWAYS keep an eye on them. THANK GOD I was watching.
Strummer must have gluped his neck down and was choking. His eyes were bulging out and he was gasping for air. He was pacing and pacing and trying and trying to vomit. After seconds (felt like hrs) of struggle we decided to try the heimlick on him. My better 1/2 had his arms around him to start and then LUCKILY Strummer puked up the entire meal all over the floor. He looked sooo relived. He must have irritated his throat because he was coughing for hrs after. This has never happened to us.
My poor guy- thank GOD I watch them when they eat.
I am going to hack up these huge turkey necks so they won't choke. I think the shape of them make them harder to go down the hatch. They have never had issues before. These necks are on the larger side. It's crazy, he's not a glupper and always chews his food- even as a baby. He ate necks and backs with ease at 9 weeks old.
anyway, Scared the CRAP outta me but all is fine.
