We had been having trouble with Eddie choking several times, the last one on Sat AND then again on Monday. I picked him up from the clinic last night, and he seemed a bit off, didn't want his dinner. I took his temp and it was normal, but he did have the runs pretty bad last night (which was from the antibiotics) This morning he didn't want his grain but did drink a lot and grazed a bit, so I felt safe leaving him.
I came home from work and he was gone. it didn't look like he struggled at all, the ground was not torn up. I took him down to our clinic where they did a necropsy. It looks like he had a bad heart, the walls were very thick. The vet feels that this pressed on his esophagus and caused a stricture, which made him choke. Poor guy.
Godspeed, Eddie.
