Preventing choking?

• Preventing choking? k.m.a Posted : 11/18/2006 2:37:55 AM I was eating chicken today, and I gave jayda a piece of the cuttle bone (??) you know, the soft part at the end of the bone,.. anyway, I figured she'd actually chew it, it was a fair size after all, but nope, so excited she swallowed it WHOLE! I was like omg, and she started to chuff like she was choking for about five seconds, (felt like five hours) and she was fine. But, that lead me to think, what if she wasn't okay, what would I do to get it down .. or up? She tends to eat quickly, so it could be a possibility that she would end up actually choking.. Any suggestions? LIKE 2 REPLIES 291 VIEWS LAST POST K.M.A Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

Just as an aside, its really a bad idea to give your dog cooked bone and cartilidge.  Raw is fine, but not cooked . . . . 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
