No sweet potatoe chews!!!!! Today I gave the girls a sweet potato chew and all of a sudden Pixie swallowed the whole thing and started choking. I could feel it in her throat and I did not know what to do I started panicking. I tried to rub her throat to get it down and she was starting to have a hard time breathing. I was freaking out.............I put her on the floor and she barfed it up!! Thank God. That was horrible. I am NEVER giving her one of those again. Does anyone know what to do if they are choking, I never want to feel that helpless again. |
I understand being panicked. Glad she's ok now. Here ya go: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...-maneuver.html |
What a great question!!! I'm glad she's ok - you must have been terribly scared! Last week I thought Bridget swallowed her barrett and I thought OMG what am I going to do if she starts choking. I never leave her alone with them in her hair, but two things happend at once and she disappeared from my sight for just a second and "POOF" it was gone. Long story short I searched for days for it and she brought it to me 3 days later....still don't know where it was. But I was scared to death. Worried about her fragile throat too - didn't want to do any damage. They are like little vaccums...I should have named her "Hoover" or better yet...."Dirt Devil"! I can't wait to see the response! |

The sweet potato chews are from vitality, but she had eaten some and then when it got down to the size of a half a dollar she swallowed the whole thing. |
Here's my thread. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...kehouse-8.html Unfortunately nothing I did made a difference and they are still selling these without a warning that they can be dangerous for small dogs. :( |
That's not the sweet potato The issue is, like with everything, you have to watch before they get down to a throat-size you have to take them away. I am always cutting of the end of the chew sticks when they get "gummy" like I am sure Sophie likes. But I do not want to take the chance that she get's the piece off and chokes or swallows it and it becomes lodged further down. Ever vigilant folks!!:):) |
I'm so happy she is ok. That could have played out quite differently. Any of those hard treats are just a disaster waiting to happen. Just microwave or bake a sweet potato and mix with some "nummy" salmon and cheese. She will love you forever. :D To microwave potatoes, wash, stab with fork, and coat with either butter or olive oil and wrap in a soaking wet paper towel and bake for about 5 minutes for a small and 8 for a medium/large. For a nice snack, give her some fresh apples, berries or dried fruit. ;) |

I can\'t imagine if someone gave there dog a treat before they left. I always give her a cheerio as a going away treat. |
