We believe our cockatiel may have something stuck in her throat.. these are the signs we are seeing: Coughing, Sleeping constantly, out of breath with minor activity, and a very raspy chirp (it’s not clear) We took her to the vet and they stated it was heart failure. We firmly believe something may be stuck in her throat, any ideas on what it could be or what we can do to help her? Could it be something else? I have videos of her coughing as well.

Signs like those can definitely be congestive heart failure. The day my 24 1/2 year old cockatiel died his chirp was very raspy. If you didn't go to an avian board certified vet you could try that. There might be treatment that can help. I know this was 4 days ago so not sure if you'll see this. Good luck.
