healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2021/06/10/choking-hazards-for-pets.aspx Story at-a-glance Any object that’s smaller than your pet’s windpipe or back of throat can pose a choking hazard if it gets stuck Toys are a common concern, especially balls that are too small for dogs, and strings, dental floss and hair bands for cats Food and treats, including rawhide chews, bones and elk antlers, can also cause choking In a study of complications following the removal of foreign bodies from dogs’ throats, the majority of the foreign bodies — 77.4% — were bones Small breed dogs are especially at risk of tracheal collapse, which can lead to coughing as well as choking Constricting collars, sticks and stones are other top choking hazards to watch out for My notes: I remember one time we had to get a small stick out of our cat's mouth. She was playing around & got it lodged inside. One of us had to hold her while the other had to pry it out. She wasn't choking like the normal choking you'd think, but it was getting hard for her to function.
