Dogs can choke not only when eating. Animals love to explore the world by smell and taste, for which they try objects that interest them with their teeth.
Be that as it may, a dog owner should know what to do if a foreign body gets stuck in the pet’s throat and the dog is choking.
Experts have explained what to do in a situation where you can’t expect help from a veterinarian.
First, you need to determine the nature of the cough.
If the cough is wet, it is quite possible that the foreign object will come out on its own or with vomit.
If the cough is dry, the swallowed object will not come out on its own.
You need to call someone for help, open the animal's mouth and examine it.
If the object is in the oral cavity or is not deep, then you should try to remove it yourself.
If not, you need to make several massaging movements on the dog's neck to induce a swallowing reflex.
You can try giving the dog something to eat - food or something tasty.
You can also try turning the dog upside down and shaking it a few times.
In this case, it is useless to hit the dog on the back or neck.
Once you have successfully removed the foreign object, take your dog to the veterinarian at the first opportunity.
