how to help kitty choking on dry food?

[Medusa]

I have heard of people putting a large rock in the bowl with the food to help slow an animal down when they are eating. Make sure it is too big for the kitty to put in its mouth though. It's supposed to take up a large area of the bowl so the animal can't stick its mouth in and gobble away. It has to work a little harder for the food, hence it eats slower.

Yes, this is what my vet recommended. I have a kitty who eats like it might be her last meal and this has helped her.

I like Jessika's idea about spreading the dry food out on the floor!!! If she is the ONLY kitty(or if you have others that can be somewhere else while she eats)this is a great idea!!! That is what is so great about this site, all the great ideas!!!
