Very odd incident with water..

[ShadowIllusion]

My male chinny was drinking water from his water bottle as usual (I had filled it the day before), I walk away and I hear a very loud, high pitch "cough" kind of sound. It frightened me and I ran to the cage to see what might of been wrong! I saw that he stopped drinking and was kind of... coughing/hiccuping to the look of it, he stood still and did not move when this was happening. I believe that he may have drank too fast and choked on a little water. About five minutes later he was totally fine. Everything is normal now.

Should this be a cause for alarm? ):

That happens sometimes. The chins get themselves all excited and drink the water too fast. They cough and kind of yawn/gag then they're fine. Nothing to worry about so long as he's acting normal

He's fine. Ditto to what Tabitha said. It is very scary when that happens...that noise still freaks me out!

Thank you so so much!!!
I was very worried, I don't want anything to go wrong.
I am a new owner, though I have been researching chins for almost a year now.
I stumbled upon this site a couple months back and I finally decided to join.
I love the friendly members and the accurate info!!
