Not long ago, my puppy accidentally stuck his throat while eating bones. This time it really scared my family and I. We were very worried that it would have difficulty breathing.
So, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the emergency treatment of puppies stuck in their throat while eating.
Step 1: Quick observation When the puppy is stuck in his throat, quickly observe its condition.
If it can cough or spit out foreign objects, you can rest assured for a while, but still need to pay close attention.
However, if the puppy is having difficulty breathing or cannot breathe, treatment is required.
Step 2: Emergency treatment If you find that the puppy is stuck in his throat so severe that it causes difficulty breathing and unable to breathe, emergency treatment is required.
First, we should try oral operation with our fingers, and if the foreign object is successfully removed, we can continue to observe.
However, if our fingers cannot reach the foreign object, we can take the following measures: 1. Hold the puppy upside down, hold its lower abdomen with our hands, then tilt its head down, gently pat the back, and sometimes a slight vibration can help the foreign object loosen; 2. We can use a kissing method, while pinching the cheek that is supported on the mouth with our hands, allowing the puppy to open its mouth wide, and expel foreign object with our breath; 3. Use your nails to slightly stimulate the space between the tongue or the jaw to stimulate the throat reflex and let the puppy discharge foreign object.
Step 3: Medical Examination Even if we successfully remove the foreign object, we must take the puppy to the hospital for examination to make sure that it does not cause other problems due to the throat stuck.
Doctors will intuitively observe whether the neck is swollen, whether the breathing is stable, and whether there is runny nose.
Usually the doctor will do some tests and then prescribe some medications to the puppy, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, etc. to ensure that it can recover faster.
The last thing to note is that we should avoid feeding too large pieces of food to puppies to avoid chewing them inadequately, causing throat stagnation.
If family members may cough, yawn, be uninterested in food when they see a pet dog eating, it may be stuck and stay in their throats.
Therefore, we must attach great importance to these situations.
In short, it is an urgent and serious problem for a puppy to get stuck in the throat, and we must deal with it quickly to avoid more serious consequences.
At the same time, in order to avoid this, we should try to avoid feeding too large pieces of food to the puppy and let it eat food that is chewed slowly to prevent throat stagnation.
