*cough*hack*cough*

Gip has been coughing sporadically for a couple weeks. The first time while my mom was feeding him on her lap, the second time when he got something stuck in his throat, the third time when we were doing introductions with Fiona, and he did it quite a few times. And then last night, while he was eating hay.

Is a vet check in order, or are all of these instances because of food and rumbling too much?

Re: *cough*hack*cough*

Sounds like they're all food related to me.
Any other symptoms?

Have you had his heart checked out yet?

Haley, no other symptoms.

Rabbitsncavyluv, no, I haven't, that's why I asked if the coughs seemed food related because I know it's often a sign of heart problems.
