Daisy got choke

Poor Daisy had a bit of a rubbish day today.

She got ‘choke’ which is a blocked oesophagus, the vet was very busy today so it was a long wait with snot and drool coming out her nose as she hacked and wheezed - basically anything she tried to eat or drink came out her nose (we obviously took away all food and drink once we realised this!) and so too did any saliva she made. Fortunately horses can still breath when this happens.

Then the vet arrived and stuck a plastic tube up her nose so he could rod her oesophagus like a blocked drain… insertion was a bit tricky and we ended up in the lungs first time, best not to pour water in there!

Now she is back in the field eating grass, so hopefully the finish to the day us better for her.
