Last night, I almost lost Lucy.

<---------- that's Lucy.


I was feeding her and Barkley some leftover turkey and (true to form) she bolted hers down. Instantly, she collapsed and started kicking and clawing at the air. I flipped her over in a second and did a doggie version of the Heimlich Maneuver.

It was over in less than 30 seconds. She's fine now.

Ask your vet how to do basic first aid on your pets, including the Heimlich Maneuver. It's something you need to know. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Good tip!!!
Bless her heart!!! Good doggy parent!!!

seems to me maybe you should of made it more readily in bite sizes and you wouldn't of had that problem. Not to mention the dog maybe fighting the other for her food that's why she woofs it down? as you suggested maybe you should be asking the vet some questions too. JMO>

thanks for that Bookworm...one of my dogs bolts her food, so thats good to know....the other eats slowly and daintily lol

glad Lucy is ok
