Poor piggie was eating cilantro too fast, made a coughing sound, and then started to look as if he was trying to throw up. He looked like a cat, with the whole body thing. It stopped, and I picked him up for a few seconds to kind of let it pass. Should I be worried? Is he all right?       |

He's fine, they do that since they can't actually throw up. The jerking is sort of a heave to remove the lodged food. |

Yeah, it's pretty scary, I thought mine was choking to death when I first saw it. Now I'm just sure to cut everything in bite size pieces, it seems to have helped the gag reflex. |
