Oh my GOD - I'm not normally a panicker, but my heart just nearly stopped. I am working from home today and Rosie is in with me. I just gave her some treats for lying down nicely and then I carried on working and the next thing I knew she was panting and trembling and doing strange things with her paw at her face. I thought she was having some sort of a seizure.
I tried to calm her down and took her out into the living room where the light is a bit better and something made me think to look in her mouth (I don't know if I thought maybe she was swallowing her tongue or something). Straight away, I could see a bit of a twig stuck in the back of her mouth. I pinned her down and pulled her jaws apart and managed to pull it out. She gave me such a nice reaction - she couldn't have said thank you any better without learning to speak! Now she is sitting under my chair and going to sleep and it is me that's trembling!!!
What would I have done if it had been something worse? My poor little baby.
