Missus screams 'the dog is choking' !
He was chewing a piece of really old bone he had found (way before his time) he had been playing with it occasionally for months.
I run over and grab 9kg woofie, jam my hand in his mouth, then start rodding his throat trying to grab the bone. He's still rolling his head and what looked like heaving.
He dying ! Up under my arm like a bagpipe and started to pump him Heimlich Manoeuvre style while shoving my hand down his throat !!!!
Call the emergency vet ! He's choking but not collapsing... Quick drive !!!
She took the kids and drove, next minute I find the piece of bone in his bed
Turns out the old bone had splintered as he chewed it and a sliver had pierced and lodged itself deep in his gum. He was rolling his head and doing the choking 'look' trying to dislodge it.
Lil chunt never came near me for a week after that
