Sadly, we dont know what to do until it is too late. I recommend to everyone to take a pet first aid and cpr course. You may not need it, but it's good to have and know.

With a puppy in the house you need to keep small objects out of his reach. Dogs will grab, chew and swallow all kinds of things. There is something you can do in this situation. It's similar to the human Heimlich maneuver. It's named after the doctor who is credited with inventing it, Dr. Henry Heimlich. Here's a site that will be very useful to you in the proper care of your puppy. www.the-happy-dog-spot.com/choking-dog.html The site also has other information for you. And here is a good site with information on raising a puppy http://puppycare101.com/Raising_a_Puppy.html Good luck and congratulations on your new friend. And welcome to mylot!
