RaineysMom Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 he seems no worse for wear this morning, thank God. We had folks over for dinner last night so he got lots and lots of extra luvins. thanks for posting that video! Believe me, when it's happening, it is HARD to stay calm and think clearly! I'm just glad I was able to have him get it up. I hope to never experience that ever again! and I honestly don't know how I didn't get bitten (not intentionally!). He was such a good boy!

mychip1 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I had read your post the other day....and I am so thankful that I did.....(Though I wished I had kept following and watched the heimlich video)..... Last night, I gave Dustin a treat and he went off to eat it. About three or four minutes later, I went to look for him and he was doing what you described with rubbing away at his gums with his paws. He did very little wretching, so had I not read your post, I might not have been as quick to realize what was happening. I tried reaching down his throat and couldn't find the biscuit....by this point, his paws had a few cuts from his teeth and his gums were bleeding from his claws. I just started making him move and banging on his chest until without any sound, there was the treat sitting on the floor. Like Larry, he seems no worse for the wear, though I am suspect he has a bit of a sore throat this morning as he is hesitant about his dry food. So....while I am so sorry you had to go through what you did, I am so thankful that you posted, because I might not have moved to action so quickly if I had not read your post.

I'm so glad he was able to get it up!!!! and although I wish what happened to Larry hadn't happened, I'm thankful it at least helped another! someone posted on another site that you should take the dog into the vet in case some residue was still left in the throat (or maybe had been aspirated??) but with Larry, I know he got up the entire piece and it sounds like Dustin did, too. hoping his throat is better!!!

krissn333 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Glad that everyone is okay!! Ace has tried to swallow a big piece of rawhide before and has choked on it.

Guest WhiteWave Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I know how scary it can be. Jack stole Joey's chicken back and got it stuck. His gums were already blue when I found him and he looked to almost having a seizure. Being little I was able to grab him up and thankfully it came out, but I was scared to death. I though he was already dead when I found him. He bounced right back though, I was upset about it a lot longer than he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
