Bob,

>>Do not want to get
water (or pieces of carrot and mucus) sucked down into the lungs, that
would be the start of a whole new set of problems.<<

Yes, and they prescribed antibiotics to prevent aspiration pneumonia.

We learn so much here from others' experience, and I wish I hadn't had
to learn about choke on my own.

Cathy's endurance horse (you met her at Tule), Gwalisons Olympia, choked
on a carrot the first day I brought her home as mine, from the killer
pens. She was able to clear it herself though. She had a big abscess
on the front of her neck along with other injuries from being tripped at
charreadas, and I was afraid at that point that the injury involved the
esophagus!
