Dog swallowed something stuck in throat – Vet Advice

If your #dogswallowedsomething and its stuck in his throat – its vital to get help from your vet. In this video, Golden Retriever Sam has been taken to the vets after swallowing a chicken bone he picked up on the street. The bone is now firmly #stuckindogsthroat. Vet Laura Smith explains how dogs swallowing all kinds of objects or substances can cause serious injury and needs professional treatment urgently. The veterinary advice given in this video is of a general nature only. If you are concerned about your own dog’s health, always take them to your vet. Dogs love to eat things they shouldn’t. Three of the most common items eaten by a dog include balls, corn cobs and even socks. Foot odour is very attractive to dogs apparently. But it’s no laughing matter – especially when these items end up in the dog’s intestine and have to be removed surgically.

At Abbey House Veterinary Hospital owner Stephen is concerned that his dog has swallowed something he shouldn’t.
My dog Sam must have picked a chicken bone up and got it lodged in his mouth.
When might that have happened.
I think it might have been last, but he wasn’t showing anything last night. Just this morning, round about three hours ago I noticed. So to ring the vets up and bring him up for them to take it out. He’s shaking his head and sweating and putting his paw to his mouth, just to try and get it out. So you know, I’ve tried to get into his mouth but he kept – I could see the bone, but he kept locking on, I couldn’t get my hand in on my own.
Dogs are notorious at picking things up and eating them that they shouldn’t. Sometimes it’s bits of food that people have dropped on the street, which can cause vomiting and diarrhoea if it’s an upset. Otherwise they can go and pick up bones, or sometimes they can be very sharp and they can puncture the oesophagus as they swallow them. There’s also worry about swallowing things like socks, things like that.
