  My rabbit started choking last spring and got her molars trimmed and it resolved the problem. She started choking again October and we got her molars trimmed Oct 26.
  
  She came home and choked and choked Nov 5, Nov 13 and yesterday 2 chokes in a row.
  
  We went to a specialist in the area who said one of the teeth had already grown out sideways on the right side and was poking her cheek. He’s unsure if the choking is related to the teeth but thinks it is because teeth trimming resolved it before.
  
  She is a 5 year old Holland lop and I resolve the episodes by sticking my finger in her mouth making a “sweeping motion” and I never find anything but that resolves it.
  
  She is going in in a week and a half to get that tooth cut down and the rest checked out and possibly some teeth removed.
  
  Does anyone have experience with this or comments?

  This is really scary but it does sound like the teeth would be my first plan of attack. I did have a bun that had to have several molars extracted. He felt better once they were out. Is she choking on a specific food or just in general?

    She seems to just be choking in general.
