Did you know that rabbits love to eat their hay throughout
the day? Rabbits need to eat throughout the day to keep them healthy and happy.
Eating carrots is also good for them as the crunchiness helps naturally keep
their teeth sawed down. Sometimes, however, you may find that your rabbit eats
too fast and can cough or choke on it. Rabbits often choke more on their food
than other animals. Signs of choking may include coughing, heaving or hacking
sounds. Your rabbit may also appear to be struggling. Call your vet
immediately. Your vet may advise you to use the bunny version of the Heimlich
maneuver. The maneuver involves holding your bunny on your arm, securing his
head, applying pressure with your other hand to his back, lifting him head
level and bringing him down quickly. This movement uses force of gravity to
remove the blockage. For more tips, call
your animal hospital Dahlonega, GA.
