Let's discuss choke......

Choke in a horse refers to an obstruction of the esophagus - the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.....(not the airway, so the horse can still breathe).
This is generally casued by poorly chewed dry feed or occasionally a foreign object. Due to food and saliva not able to pass, the horse likely will start drooling and or have feed coming out the nostrils.
How to treat?
- Remove access to all feed and water
- Keep horse calm with its head low when possible (this helps drainage from the nostrils)
- Call your local vet. It's likely they will need to pass a stomach tube to clear the blockage and administer medications.

If you find yourself requiring a vet in routine hours or after-hours get in touch with our team on 9393 3373!
