Horse Health FAQs: Answered
We receive a lot of client inquiries about equine choke and how to handle it. Because choke is a fairly common equine emergency that is also commonly misunderstood, we wanted to share some details.
In humans, choke refers to to a tracheal or windpipe obstruction whereas in horses it refers to an obstruction of the esophagus, which is the muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
Choke typically occurs when horses eat concentrated food such as grain too quickly without chewing it properly but can also occur with hay, treats, or just about any food your horse ingests.
Owners typically notice food matter coming out of the horse's nostrils in a choke scenario, or that they may not be eating or acting a bit colicky. While a horse choking does not immediately impact his ability to breathe, choke can have a number of long term ill effects so it is important to get in touch with your vet if your horse is showing symptoms of choke.
If you suspect your horse is choking, don’t panic — but do call your vet immediately and remove all hay, grain and water from the stall. Your vet will tell you if there is anything else you need to do while you wait for their arrival.
