    Something happened To Brownie this morning.

    I got up and let him and Cuddles and Possum outside. Then I got their breakfast and let them eat. Brownie finished first so I gave him a chew stick thing. He ate about half of it then started choking!!! I massaged his throat until he stopped choking and then took the other half away. He seemed fine but he was still sorta hiccupping every few seconds. I tried to get him to take a drink but he wouldn't. He kept begging to go outside. I thought maybe he had to vomit so I let him out and he just statred gobbling grass down. Should I have stopped him or did I do the right thing in letting him keep going?? Because I have heard that eating grass makes a dogs stomach feel better.

    I'm no expert but in my experience dogs eat grass to induce vomit.  It does make them feel better in the end but it's a messy way to go and not comfortable.

    I would give Brownie some bread to help move the obstruction through the system.

    Rawhides can be hard on the stomach -- and it's SO easy for a piece of one to come off and be bigger than they should swallow.
