What to do if a dog chokes on a bone?
A dog that can breathe somehow can be taken to a veterinary clinic and entrusted to a veterinarian to extract the bone. For example, if a small dog choked on a very small bone, the work of extracting the bone should be done with jeweler’s precision. An animal that cannot breathe will have to be rescued on its own.
Why shouldn’t you give bones to your dog?
Dogs do not sharpen their teeth with bones! Bones scratch the enamel and damage the teeth. Bones injure the throat and esophagus. Bones get stuck in the teeth.
What to do if a dog is poisoned?
What should you do if your dog is poisoned? Stay calm and make sure the source of the poison is out of your dog’s reach. Call your veterinarian or, if it happened at night or on a weekend, any nearest 24-hour veterinary clinic.
