CC was chokeing

[bevgo]

I gave her a piece of chicken jerky. A treat that she has had a million times. Suddenly she was pawing at her face, then jumpped in my lap--all 30 pounds of her and was trying to paw at my face. I realized she was in trouble and did a mouth sweep and disloged the chicken. Hubby was laughing at her as he thought she was just trying to play. I thought it was rather smart of her to make sure she got my attention and let me know she was having a BIG problem. TG I was right there and was able to disloge it. I was wondering if a heimlich manuver would work on a dog but so glad I did not have to find out. It scared me soooo bad. I hate to think I could have lost her.

There use to be a thread in the health section just for Chow emergencies, Choking, bloat, heat stroke, ETC. I was going to refer you to , BUT ITS GONE. Its cool she knew how to get help, I don't think other breeds are that smart.

It's not gone. You looked in the wrong section. Terry placed it under the Community section.

Thank goodness you and Cece were in tune with one another. However, don't think about the what if, it's a waste of good energy. Just focus forward with gratitude.

That must have been scary. Forgive your husband, he just didn't realize CC was in trouble. You did though, and good job, saving your baby.

I am SO glad you were able to help CC! What a smart girl to let you know something was terribly wrong. I guess she also knew NOT to go to your husband!!(LOL)
