I just had THE BIGGEST scare of my entire life! We have been over at my moms with the babies so when we got back home (about 20 minutes ago) I fed the babies a late dinner. Tatum has been eating Natural Balance Potato & Duck SMALL BITES for the last few days and tonight when she was eating she started choking SO BADLY!!!
This was totally OUT OF THE BLUE and I have NO idea how it happened, because if any of you feed this food, or have fed this food in the past, you know that the kibbles are ITTY BITTY TEENY TINY as they are the SMALL BITES. She went to the ground and I immediately went down to her level and stuck my finger SO FAR down her throat...hubby jumped up out of the chair and I have NEVER seen him move so fast in my entire life, I swear you guys, we BOTH had a mild heart attack tonight...actually I don't even know if I would call it MILD!!!!! After I stuck my finger down her throat I started rubbing to to try and get any food that might possibly be lodged, to go DOWN. It's like she wasn't getting any air OMG....there were TWO things running through my head. #1 was the POOR dog who was choking and was being driven to the vet and the cop stopped them (the one that was on the news) and I have to tell you that after this ordeal tonight I KNOW FOR A FACT that I would NOT have stopped the car if I was those people....excuse my french but no way in HELL would I have stopped!!! And the other thought that was running through my mind was my GOD why haven't I read up on Doggie CPR!!!!
I swear my head was just spinning trying to think of what to do!
So guys...I BEG YOU....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch your babies CLOSELY not only when you give them treats or things to chew on, but even when they eat their regular food cause I swear you NEVER know when they are going to choke. My God, I would have NEVER imagined Tatum choking on this food, they are ITTY BITTY kibbles....but SHE DID. This was
extremely scary for my hubby and I, and I'm sure Tatum too
Now, SERIOUSLY....isn't there a Sticky somewhere for Doggie CPR?? If so can someone PLEASE post the think because I swear I am going to print it out and study the thing a million times. I am STILL shaking over this, my entire body feels like Jello, no joke
