I was just curious ,since I read all the cautionary statements about always monitor while your dog chews on bones and toys and such . Does anyone here actually know what to do if your dog starts choking and cant breath ? Is there a heimlich maneuver for dogs ? Any Vets here or vet techs that could answer this ? Sure would be good to know if there is a way to properly unblock an obstruction if your dog was choking and couldn't breath .

Thank You !!

my golden retriever was choking once ... he must have been about 2 years old... anyways he swallowed one of my daughters socks and it did not go all the way down ..... he was choking and if he hadn't been so furry .... i swear he turned blue .... but, ... I just reached down his throat and pulled it out!!!

Im curious now on the proper procedure .... let me know if you find out please!!!
