I am Irish but, I don't think you want my luck. I fed my 14 yr old yorkie some chicken chunks and she choked. I tried to clear the choke and pushed it into her lungs. I took her to the vet and they just wanted to watch her for the weekend to the tune of $600 and not give her any meds. I declined and took her home after they charged me $120 to walk in the door (no meds, no treatment). By the next day she had fluid in her lungs. I am now giving her shots of antibiotic and making her as comfortable as possible. No, I don't think you want my luck. But I will keep you and your mare in my prayers.
