OMG I'm so glad she's ok! Poor Tater!!! You were awesome-quick thinking on your feet! Tatum is so lucky to have a mommy like you!!!
We've been exactly there with Emma, so I understand completely, it's horrifying-Emma did the same thing with a piece of rawhide once (I know, rawhide-but we didn't know then, we were new yorkie owners) She too was choking and screaming and her eyes rolled back and then she fell over-It was so scary!!! But, like you, DH was smart and cool on his feet, had try and pry it out of her mouth, and then he got bitten by accident, so he had to basically heimlich (sp?) Emma to get the rawhide to get out of her airway. He was successful, and saved her life, as you just saved Tatums! I'm so glad you were there to help her!
Brooke, I know it's so scary, and you're completely freaked out. I'm so proud of you for knowing what to do and how to help her! Just take a few deep breaths, and kiss your Tater-Tot.. I'm so so so so so glad to know she's ok! Hugs to you!!!
And..BTW, this was a great wake up call for us all-I just scolded DH, and made him listen to your story because he's always sneaking stuff to Emma and Milli that he shouldn't- thank you for posting this as a reminder for us all! |
