Amberleah did that last summer, I called vet and rushed her in, on the way we had huge detour, I was a basket case. by the time we got there she was able to get it down on her own, the vet still insisted to see her and charged me a after hours fee. I would have been there before they closed if where not for detour. It was 10 mins after hours. She also had a sweet potato treat stuck in her teeth half way down her throat, it was very sticky. I threw them away.

It is scary! I too, had some trouble with the dried sweet potato treats and threw them away. Also, I found out if these little ones are choking to hold them upside down ( supported of course ) and pat on back-- no heimlich maneuver for breeds this small.

Amberleah had to go to university vet hospital and was not aloud to eat all day when we left she was starving, so I stopped to pet smart get her something, and seen a bag of sweet potatoes for dogs, they are a treat or snack. not dried and not fresh, but Gummy, well they where so gummy they stuck to her teeth and ruff of her mouth down her throat. I was driving on free way and to pull over and get it out. She was all upset made it harder to get out. They went right in garbage.
