I'm glad that you were able to save poor Maggie! Your quick actions worked. Thanks for the reminder on small chews too. Congrats on your new baby sister for her too!

A very good reminder.... I am relieved to hear that Maggie is okay, that must have been such a horrible scare for you.

It is something that we can not be reminded of often enough. You know how you have that rule about toys for infants and babies, they have to be or a certain size so you know they can not poke it down their throats.

There should be a simioar pretty easy rule for our big and giant dogs. And not only the issue of them being too small, since they have quite powerful teeth and jaws, they can also tear toys up and then they parts can be of equal danger.

Your post actually made me go around the house and look at all our toys and make sure they were all okay and nothing tore apart or too small.

Give Maggie a big slobber kiss from me and my puppies

Not just toys, Apache almost choked on a milkbone biscuit. At first I panic'd, then calmed myself & managed to get it out of his throat. Scared the ---- out of me.

I'm glad to hear your baby is okay.  Here is just an FYI for you.  The American Red Cross has a CPR/First Aid course for animals.  I'm certified and let me tell you, it will come in handy.  If your dog is ever choking again, you can sit him on his honches and give him upper respitory thrusts just like you would a human choking.  They also teach you how to give CPR for large breeds aswell.  Good luck with your doggies.

So glad Maggie is okay. That's happened to me before with various dogs - those darn rawhides can get stuck on the roof of their mouth near their throat and they can't dislodge them! In fact, it happened to Guinness just last week  - he was chewing a rawhide past the point where I normally let him (before it gets too small) and started to gag on it. My hubby started to freak out because he'd never seen that before, but I quickly put my hand in his mouth and pulled it out. The best thing to do with rawhides is to always supervise when they chew them.

Don't get the big chewys either, tonka is  5 months old and they give them to her at the vet, well until we told them not to, she has even put a large one all the way in her mouth and I had to pull it out. I know it is suppose to be better than rawhide, but she gets neither one! The brand she had was the CET. we only give her Kongs to chew on now.

I'm sorry that so many people have had problems with bones and what not.  I must be the lucky one with Dudley.  He gets pig ears, bones, rib bones, rawhides.  He has never choked on a thing since seven weeks of age.  I know all dogs and owners are different, but we have had good luck with them.  I think it comes down to the dog and owner.  I wouldn't tell anyone not to give their dog treats like these otherwise.  I know I'm going to here about this, but go ahead with all comments.
