Hacking after chewing stuffed toys? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Has anyone noticed their dogs hacking after chewing on stuffed toys? I try to keep Eddie from shreading them, but I'm not always successful. I noticed yesterday when he was playing with a neighbor dog that he would occasionally stop play and start hacking like he was trying to clear his throat.

I'm going to stop giving him soft toys for a while and hope the problem clears up. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed that kind of hacking. Maybe it's not even toy related.

I havent noticed that with mine but maybe he has an allergy to the cotton in them or something

That's a thought. I'll have to ask the vet. Thanks.

Yea....i choose not to buy them anymore for the same reason...i think the "stuffing" gets stuck in their little throats and they cant swallow it. I spent all night trying to help my Coco becasue she wouldnt stop hacking after playing with her toy.
