Yorkie chewed up branch --- - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My little yorkie loves to play fetch and he chewed up one of the sticks and now it seems like there is irritation in his mouth/throat.

He keeps sticking his tongue out like he is trying to get something out of his mouth/throat. Imagine having something small stuck under your tongue..the tongue motion humans do to get it out, is exactly what he is doing.

I checked his entire mouth and cleared out his throat. I even used a flashlight to see, but I did not find anything. And this might be paranoia, but he seems more tired that usual.

Anyone have a similar problem/ideas on what's going on?

If he keeps acting that way I would have the vet check him out. He could have something stuck farther down. Have you tried giving him something like bread, or a little ice cream to help clear his throat? It may help. Hope he is ok.

Thanks Patti...well I gave him some bread and I don't think that did it. His breath has been extremely bad, worse than ever! But he has been active for the past 2 hours so I guess that's a good sign?

I will call the vet tomorrow, but if anyone has similar situations or helpful advice, I would appreciate it.

Thank you!
