Chocking Puppy

What to do when your Puppy is Choking: This is a very common accident, especially among puppies or uneasy dogs that bite and swallow almost anything. If the dog is playing with an object and he accidentally swallows it and it gets stuck in the larynx, he gets uneasy, he might run back and forth raising his head and rigid neck, or he might stay standing with his head and neck stretched out, as if looking for more air in order to breathe. He will try to get rid of the object with his paws, or try to throw up, which will produce a lot of pain, along with deafening screams or barks.  He'll also start to salivate a lot and get very nervous in his desperate attempt to breathe and it is possible that he might even reject your help.  Call or take your dog as quickly as possible to the veterinarian clinic. Don't lose even a second as your friend's life is in danger. You can try to remove the object from his throat if it is in reach of your fingers, but if it is way inside, don't blindly try to get it out as you might push it further in; and if the object is something sharp or splintery, it could injure even more the internal mucous membranes of the esophagus. You can try, if the dog is small, to hold him by the two hind legs letting the head hang downwards. Open his mouth, pulled the tongue out and it is very pro-that the object that was instructing his throat will fall out. In the case of bigger animals, put him with his head downwards on your arm or leg. Quickly clean the throat with your fingers and pull his tongue out. If he has difficulties breathing, after you have removed the foreign object, start artificial breathing.  When the dog chokes on food, place yourself behind the choking animal, raised him by his hind legs, embrace his waist allowing the head and shoulders to bend forward. Then close one hand, forming a fist which you will then grab with the other hand and place against the animal's abdomen, in between the belly and ribs. When applying pressure under the diaphragm, the air of the lungs compresses and comes out with force, making the piece of food that was stuck go shooting out. Another procedure would be to put the animal lying down on his side, giving him a strong blow in between the shoulders. Move the tongue to the side with a spoon. Open his mouth and with your index and thumb remove the piece of food. It could be a simple case or something serious, which would put his life in danger. Go to the veterinarian or animal center. If asphyxia is imminent, buy a special cannula for such a use in pharmacies and softly introduce it into his throat solo that he can breathe and wait to be relieved. If you are alone and you want to see where the object is, place the dog on his back against his legs. Raise the head backwards and upwards holding its in as straight a line as possible. By the altar or wall of the neck, you can make a detailed exploration until you find the object which will appear to be like a small tumor. Another thing that will help you if your dog's reaction when you pass your hand on that lump because it will hurt him. If you can try to move it upwards, toward the mouth and that way, you will be able to extract eight. If he offers resistance, you shouldn't force him. Make sure you dog doesn't stop breathing and try to get help, by all means, from the veterinarian clinic.
