I almost killed my own baby tonight
 

I am so upset right now. I ordered samples of Lifes abundance the other day, and it came today. I gave Sawyer some of it, and he loved it, so I was really pleased. They also sent me a dog treat shaped like a heart. Sawyer wanted it so badly, and I knew it was made of really good ingredients. I tried to break it up, but it was so hard, I couldn't break it at all. Sawyer kept barking for it, so I gave it to him. My husband and I have watched him through it all over the place tonight like it was a good smelling, but too hard to chew toy. I was just writing on the computer, and Sawyer began to choke. Cliff and I both ran to him, and he had gotten a piece of that darn cookie off and it was choking him. Cliff grabbed him up and hit him on the back, but nothing came up. He seemed to be able to breath, but he kept trying to get it up. We gave him a piece of bread with peanut butter, and it took the cookie down with it. I am so sorry, where was my mind!! That treat was so big, and so hard I never gave him choking on it a thought. That is a mistake I will never make again. Please be careful with treats that are too big for our babies, even a small piece of something so hard can choke them:mad: :mad:

how scary...so glad your baby is okay

I am so sorry to hear this! I'm glad your baby is okay now...how scary. Thank you for the warning.

Bless your heart, you must have been so scared and him too. Glad he is ok.

I am very glad that he is OK. Its just a reminder we all need to be careful with new treats. You and your husband were quick thinkers.:thumbup:

I'm glad your baby is okay now, that was a close call and good thing you noticed him choking.

I am so glad that he is OK. You and your husband were really quick thinkers with the way you handled your baby.:thumbup:

Thanks for the warning. It is a good reminder. Hope you guys have a quiet night. Am so glad you were there to help Sawyer.

Glad it turned out ok. I had a scare the other day with Cali. I gave them carrots for the 2nd time and she started choking on a piece. I freaked and didn't know what to do but she finally coughed it up.

oh my goodness you poor thing...
 

i can imagine how that upset you... we try to do what's best but we are human too.... glad the little sweety is ok....

How terrifying! I am glad that everything is okay.

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad he's ok!! That IS scary...

Very good point though...we all need to remember these little things about our babies...this is an excellent thread to keep in mind: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...light=Heimlich

Another thought: we took a pet first aid course from the Red Cross. It was very well done and thought provoking in safety proofing from a puppy's viewpoint.

That's scarry! I'm glad he is OK now. You need to give him Yorkie Yummies. They are a better size!
