[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 885283, member: 8192"] We had one like that recently Suzorse, her cheeks were packed full. We unblocked her a few times - and yes, it was her cud, not fresh chewed feed. Sometimes you see blocks of cud around watering points where they've managed to get it out of their mouth too. We also had a big charolais bull that could not cud cottonseed. He could eat it okay but they when he brought it back up, it would chock up his cheeks and right down his throat. Had to put a polystick through his mouth and rake it all out by hand ( a really putrid mess) and then stick a hose down his neck (no water running) to unplug him. Had to do it three or four times over a few days before he got rid of all the offending CS from his stomach. Luckily he was very quiet - we never fed him CS again and had him another 10 years. Don't panic about it, just watch and find out what it is she can't tolerate. [/QUOTE]
