Check her throat every day for several days just in case whatever it is is still stuck in her cloaca and starts to cause an infection. Don't assume that she is out of the woods yet.
Oh gosh, now I'm so scared.
I'll take her out later and try and look at her throat.

Your job is not to be scared. Your job is to be calm and collected and take care of your bird.Oh gosh, now I'm so scared.
It is a possibility that you don't want to ignore, that something is still stuck in her throat, but it is not likely. Just be smart and follow up on potential problems.
Anyone???
Should i be concerned about infection? Bcasue Im starting to fresak out????

Okay, feeling much more calm. I'll take a peek at her. Are there any other signs I should look for??
Don't freak out! Call the vet in the morning and see what they say/ask them what to watch out for so you will have some peace of mind
So I took a peek at her throat under the light. It looks fine and clear. Quick question, what colr should her tongue be?
The smallest sized pellet, or the crumble?
And don't freak out tonight. Infection doesn't happen in an hour! Think of this as baby steps in preparing you for parenthood...of a human. There are MANY "emergencies" in your future. You'll learn to take care of business without having a nervous breakdown...
I usually don't break down, but when I'm alone at home and my bird is sick, it's not pretty!The smallest sized pellet, or the crumble?

Thank you for helping me BubleLady.
This is the crumble.
What color is her tongue normally? Charlie's is black
Can't actually remember. I think it's greyish/blueish. Now I'm forgetting what it just was. I think we both need sleep, lol
Crumble shouldn't cause a choking problem. Are you sure your bird wasn't trying to feed YOU?
There was nothing coming out, and I wasn't interacting when it started. Would regurgitating cause breathing trouble?
Stay calm, Pigster.
Sorry I can't give any medical advice but you know I'm here, Lil Piggy!
Awww! Thanks RJN. Knowing wonderful people are with me every step off their lives is so encouraging.
