Muffin choked on a treat when she was two or three. She also stood in the middle of the floor & yelped in pain. Unsure of what the matter was, I went to pick her up around her mid-section to check on her & I inadvertently dislodged the treat. It was completely by accident, but I was extremely pleased that was the outcome. (Not nearly as happy as Muffin was though!) On our next trip to the vet I told him the story & he gave me sheet about what to do if a dog is choking. I also found the same information on a website...here it is if anyone wants to read it &/or print it out.
