I like that the first step in rat first aide is grooming. "Maybe he's too dirty to get up!"
I wonder if owls do the same
cranking the tongue like a pull start engine. "now she's purring"
Grooming is a heavily social behavior in rodents, so my guess is that it is used as a simple wellness check, to see how the choking party reacts and how severe the problem is
