WARNING: Kalina almost died (choked) because of chicken jerky made by Smokehouse! - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am so happy Kalina is doing good. Your calm and rational thinking helped saved your babies life. Between you and the gardner a blessing happened. Gorgeous Kalina is safe and happy with her mommy.

I didn't know they were made in China. On the bag it says California!! I wish I still had the bag, but I gave it back to PetSmart this morning.

Baby Fidgette: I was thinking of trying the Heimlich, but when I felt the wafer it felt like it had stuck to her esophagus and I didn't think pressing on her tummy would help in this instance. I was trying so hard to think of what was the best thing to do. Also, I didn't have anyone to hold her mouth open. I didn't want to leave her for a second at that point to try to find someone to help. I know I acted purely out of gut instinct and probably did the wrong thing and it just happened to work. You're right though about the Heimlich and I need to read more about that!!

Margaritaville: Hubby said that, since it was 100% chicken it wouldn't show up on an x-ray. I am praying that it went into her tummy and not into a lung via the trachia. I'm watching her closely though and it's a worry. Thanks.

WOW!!! I do not think I would have been able to keep my cool that way! Thank you for the warning about these treats, these are something I have given to Bruce in the past, but surely will not in the future.

I actually know someone that this happened to with her Maltese.

Ok! I won't be buying anymore of those! this has certainly opened my eyes! Thanks for the advice!

They are hard but I can break them easily with my fingers. If only I had!!

alex_143 · 11-05-2007, 12:57 PM

AVERYxo · 11-05-2007, 01:04 PM
