This is very good to know. Thank you for the info.

A couple of times, my German Shepherd (deceased now, from old age) tore open a stuffed toy and some of the stuffing was caught in her throat. She was still breathing, but in distress. I grabbed a piece of bread and spread a thick layer of butter on it. She gobbled it down and the greasy bread took it down and cleared her throat. So I can see how the cotton-ball trick would do the job.

We all need to be prepared for anything and have some home remedies at hand for emergencies. I would love to hear any other first-aid techniques.
