Hi,
Recently took my 15 year old chinnie to the vet and she had her teeth trimmed. She was taking critical care okay for a few days, but now makes a choking/gagging motion when she's swallowing (not every swallow necessarily.) I make sure I feed her slowly, so not sure what this could be? Ideas??
 
Hey there,

Does she REALLY like the critical care? She could be swallowing too fast if so, no matter how slowly you try and feed her.
 
Some chins will eat CC from the spoon or even their bowl .Maybe you could see if she will self feed this way and avoid the syringe altogether?
