Drooling? Choking?

[gizandcharlie]

Yesterday out of no where my chinchilla started drooling, and pulling at her open mouth with her paws and drool was just pouring out. It lasted about 2 minutes and then she stopped, took a dust bath and was fine. Was she choking or something??

She probably got something stuck in her mouth.

Could have been choke or could be a start of a dental issue, I would watch this chin very close and weigh on a regular basis for awhile.

Well she just had a vet visit May 8th and the vet said her teeth were fine.. It just scared the begeezus out of me. Because if she were choking, there is nothing I know how to do.

maybe something stuck in her teeth?

I had one choke-got a splinter stuck in the back of the throat, got to the vet in time and lucky for the chin I was there when it happened.
