Default Scary thing happend today!

my sweet little toby is 5 months at 2.6 lbs, he was eating this morning and began to gagging and acting like something was stuck in his throat, so i grabbed him up and me and my husband both kept trying to get him to cough it up but he couldnt , we tried to get him to drink some water and he wouldnt , all of a sudden he threw up and just started running arond crazy still gagging , i started freakin out, we jumped in the car and the vet i use is about 10 mins from my house but there is one closer so we decided to just go to it since it was closer , because i was terrified he was going to choke to death, my husband let me out at the door and i ran in telling them my dog was chocking, that he had something stuck in his throat and i needed someone to look at him, and the girl at the desk said have you ever been here before, i said no but can i please just get someone to look at him then i will fill out the paper work, she said well i dont even know if anyone is here i think our vets are at lunch, at this point im freaking out , thinking by the time you get me someone i could be at my normal vet. she said hold on one second let me go see if anyone is here. trying hard to calm down i said ok . in a few mins she returns and said the vet said if you will leave him, he will look at him when he gets done with lunch, i said WHAT! im not leaving him , my dog is choking on something and ran out the door, i was angry how in the world does someone go into a vet with a dog that is choking on something and someone tell me to leave him and they will look at him when they get through with their lunch, he could be dead by then, so my husband just starts speeding towards our normal vet, which i should have done in the first place i guess, i was just trying to get somewhere fast. on the way there he calms down a little bit, then throws up again all in my lap. we get to the vet and they rush him back and sure enough he has a piece of food stuck in his throat. they said that his tonsils are really red and swollen and he has a bad sinus infection , thats probally why he had a hard time swallowing the food. so we are on a antibiotic and canned dog food for a few days but other than that , thankfully my lil man is ok. i just wanted to share with yall and vent my frustrations out about that vet. who if i had been in my right mind i would have blessed him out! needless to say i will never go back there. im just glad my baby is ok.
