Be Careful With these Treats

[Doodlebug]

Someone gave me some orange cheese puff treats in the shape of a doggie from Wal Mart and Teddy Bear got one tightly lodged in the roof of his mouth between his teeth and couldn't get it loose. It was easy for me to pop it out with my finger and it wasn't actually in his throat, but he was having a lot of stress and discomfort from it. I don't know if he would have choked or anything if I wasn't there, but I just thought I would warn everyone to make sure and watch your babies carefully if you give them these treats. I sure never thought that a treat that was mostly 'air' would pose a hazard.

I buy those - their PUP CORN. Macey got one stuck in her teeth today too. I break them up for Brooklyn but I think I need to break them up for the rest too. I know exactly what you mean. Glad your baby is ok!

Thank you, I am so relived that he is ok! Yes, they are PUP CORN. I couldn't remember the name & I threw away the box. I break them into 3 pieces for each treat and they seem to be fine eating them now. Teddy Bear really likes them.

I wouldn't have known anything was wrong until Daisy came into the living room and made me follow her to the kitchen. There was Teddy Bear with his mouth open and frantically running the side of his face along the floor. I was terrified that something was caught in his throat, but thankfully he was ok. It was really lodged in there tight and he was so scared.
