Rooster choked and nearly died. Hes stabilised now, and advice?

Not my area of expertise. Wyorp rock could most likely help though. @azygous

sorry! I have no idea who to tag! I mostly tag people who know who to tag

No, just keeping the crow collar off of him will allow his tissues to heal.

Was definitely planning on keeping it off lmao, thank you for the help

 

[azygous]

You have said it better than I could have. No crow collars are animal cruelty. Period. Good for you for taking a stand for your rooster.

make sure he is drinking lots of water. make sure that when you give them food, it is small enough for them to swallow easily.
Keep an eye on him to make sure he is pooping, eating, drinking as normal

They have crumb but the only issue with him is that he gorges it, I think that's partly how he choked in the first place- he doesn't drink much usually however so would you recommend me pipet feeding him water?

My roo nearly choked abd died jut now, his face is back to being red and he's jut chilling right now however are there any other check I should do to make sure he going to be okay? Like should I give him water or oil via pipet or things about his body like, hold his throat be hard? Any help would be appreciated as I love my boy and I'm very upset and shocked this happened-

Update on my roo (next day) he's doing all the normal rooster things like alarm calls, crowing etc. The only things that seem to be different is 1. His normal clucks sound higher pitched than before and 2. When I gave them some corn earlier he kept stopping for air (but it could've also been bc he loves mixed corn and practically vacuums it up. Idk if his choking caused him any throat problems, ill update if he gets worse

I would imagine the constriction that caused the choking also caused his tissues in his larynx to swell. They should improve over the next week.

Thank you for letting me know this Is there anything I can do to help him recover better or is it just healed with rest?

You can make the food into more of a wet mash to help prevent that. It'll also makes sure he gets some water into him to.
