This is another frghtening thing to witness and can cause panic to us all.
If choking occurs, investigate your pooches mouth carefully to find the cause. It could be anything like a splinter, paper, large or small piece of food - virtually anything. If there is no relief, you would have to press down on the ribcage and then release quickly for around every five second intervals. If the offender does not dislodge after a few attempts, you must get your pooch to the vets as quickly as possible and have someone with you in the car to keep an eye. Your vet may need to remove the offender under anaesthetic. Panic will make the situation worse and although easier said than done, try to be as calm as is possible.
