Remolacha Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'm not even sure this is H&M, but... This morning as I was getting ready to leave, I gave the dogs their cookie, as usual. I always supervise, but mostly to make sure there are no squabbles over crumbs. This mornings cookie were dry, but pretty soft and crumbly. So I give Sallie her cookie in the living room, and go back in the kitchen where the other two dogs have already inhaled their cookies, when Sallie starts SCREAMING. Now, Sallie is a wimp. I have heard more GSODs from her in a year than I've heard from Fletcher in 7 years. But this isn't one GSOD, she is repeatedly screaming. I drop everything and run in there, Fletcher is right behind me and starting to get agitated. I don't see anything obviously wrong, so I get him and Molly in the bedroom and shut the door. Sallie finally slows down to just screaming of and on, instead of constantly, the stops. This all took less than 5 minutes (although it semed like hours at the time). I checked her over, no blood, no cuts, scrapes, no sore spots, no limp. The only thing was, she would occasionally cough, kind of like she had a cookie crumb caught in her throat. I looked in her mouth, everything looked ok. I let the other dogs out, checked her all over again. I waited around for 10-15 minutes, checked her again, nothing. Sorry to run on so long, but WTH? What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d0ggiem0mma Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Maybe a hurt tooth? Not to sound evil... but perhaps give her another cookie and see if it was just a fluke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I would suspect either a tooth or she may have swallowed a whole piece of cookie and it hurt going down. I know I've done that (well not with a dog cookie) but haven't chewed something and it was a little too big when I swallowed it and it hurt like heck until it reached the bottom.

Remolacha Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 come to think of it, she has not finished her food a couple of times lately (other times she has). I think it's time for a visit to the dentist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest azlorenz Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Poor Sallie....I hate going to the dentist. Hope it is something obvious to the dentist and easily remedied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesiRayMom Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Sounds like maybe a bad tooth to me, too. I've got one molar that dentist keeps telling me needs a root canal & crown, but I'm too cheap to do it & if a chomp on something right on that tooth, it can give me a real twinge. Hope all is well.
