We almost lost Buana last night
-
puh, I started hyperventilating while I read that….. you are very lucky that everything went ok with Buana! Good to have such books around...

Oh lord, that was intense reading! Gizmo too choked once, but on food. Heimlich worked for me, boy am I glad you had that medical book!
What kind of bone was it?
For Gizmo it was "back on the horse", and he actually was far more careful after. I can imagine it would be the same way with Buana.
I am so happy everything ended well!
-
Oh my… That's so scary.. We had the same thing a week ago with Tillo.. Also did the hindlegs thing, works great! BF said: What are you doing?! Ggg.. Tillo was very impressed by all of it..
Glad Bu'tje is ok now :)

It was a rawhide, we always have some rawhide bones lying around the house so the dogs can chew on it when they want to..
Glad that heimlick worked for you, it's very scary to be in such a situation…@ Janneke:
I think the boys are just too fanatic or someting... :confused: -
How scary!!! Sadly, I have ruled out most chew toys for my dogs, because I am paranoid of something like that happening.
I am so glad he is okay.

Oh my…it was my fastest reading. I am glad Buana is okay.
It has never happened to us. At the most they scream out when get down a big piece of bone, but that is all :eek: -
Wow! Great quick thinking! You and Kas are heroes for saving your boy.
Regarding rawhides, I stopped keeping them around last time AJ got sick from eating one. The only chews he gets now are natural beef bones. He has a rib bone I gave him from a bbq dinner about 6 months ago and a sterilized femur segment stuffed with fake peanut butter. He'll chew on them for a while and lose them in his bed. Then he gets all excited when they turn up again, like "Is it my birthday?"

Oh my goodness! That was quite a scare!! I'm glad everything turned out okay. I wonder what your other two dogs thought as Buana was being swung by his hind legs. :eek:
-
Kim I am so sorry this happen. So very happy that you had the medical book and could save Buana. I know that was bad for all of you. Give Buana a big hug from us here in Kansas tell him we also think he is special. I hope all of you have a good day please keep us todate on how he is feeling.

Wow, scary stuff. Very happy to hear Buana is alright. :)
I'm also glad to have come across that procedure. This is something we should all know in the back of our minds. Thanks for the link Pat. :D

I used to give those rawhide chews to my last 2 Bs in the 90s but stopped as they get into small pcs and they would try to swallow them and then start gagging. No chews, no pigs ears, no hooves and no bones. They break into small pcs and if you are not there it's too dangerous. It's a good thing you were there!

Sterilized Beef Bones. They are quite durable. Kananga has 4, yes 4, laying around whenever he needs something to chew on. These things can be thrown at a brick wall and they'd probably stay intact. I don't even bother filling them with anything. He prefers his unfilled Kong. :o

Thanks so much Pat, I think this is very usefull for everybody that ownes a dog or a cat!
Even if you know in your head what you supposed to do, It's great to have this to check beause when someting happens you just sometimes don't know how to react…
