Puppy swallowed a whole chicken neck

Gave Koda (13 wks) his 1st chicken neck today, two small bites then he swallowed it whole, we didn't expect that !!! Do NOT ever Google if something like this happens to you, I have been beside myself from what I've read !!! He hasn't thrown it up or passed it as yet & seems fine, so hopefully it will digest & break down. Silly boy.   

Hope he is ok.....Just keep an eye on his breathing and if any swelling of his tummy, make him drink plenty though he should be fine....

We have a small shitzuXmaltese (Bandit) that swallows them whole all the time the little bugger since he was a pup, unless we hold them one end and make him chew....Molly did the same the first time as well but after a couple times hold on them she got the idea that she had to chew, havnt had a problem since.....silly Bandit is 4 and a half now and still hasn't worked it out....so now we only give fresh rabbit pieces which are too big to swallow whole and forces him to chew lol

Fab thank you !! They sure test us don't they !   

Oh isnt it the scariest thing, i have been feeding Jed chicken necks for lunch since i got him, sometimes he will chew 2/3 times but mostly he swallows it whole. Koda should be ok, going to start doing what Jase said and hold them so he chews them   

Jed is only a week older than Koda, so I feel a bit better now knowing that, thanks ! xx

I have to watch when he gets down to the last bit of pigs ears to and take it off him or he tries to swallow the rest whole!!!! I havent given him any for a week or so as it was scary when he had it stuck in his mouth, although it didnt bother him he just kept chewing   xx

So bloody robust aren't they ! Scary lol

My little girl scared the hell out of me when she was about 3 months with a hide chews, the last bit she decided to swallow whole and it was all soft except one end which got caught in the back of throat with 2 inches or more down her throat....still enough passage to breath but a little laboured, I didn't notice her breathing until she jumped up to me, once I noticed I stuck my fingers down her throat to pull it out but was slimy as, and couldn't get a good hold on it and it started to go further down! I managed to grab it and pull it out with no ill effect, but geez it scared the hell out of me!

OMG Jase ! Why do they test us like this ???????!!!! (heart in throat)

He'll be fine Hun, so long as they can swallow it which he did they only need to chew so the pieces are small enough xx

O silly koda   keep a wee eye out,should be fine

chicken necks are small so dont worry

My boys swallow alsorts whole, wings are one crunch and down it goes.

DON'T forget dogs do not chew their food, all the do is crunch it enough to be swallowed whole

so that why a big packet of ham dissapeared in an instant then!! Slipped down in one go, little sod

  Sara ! Koda has been perfectly fine since he did it, normal toilet, appetite, energy etc., so really it was just us who had a problem with it it seems   

Glad Koda's ok! Lola has always done the same - scary to watch though   

Oh Lola    I'm not giving him another one til he turns 5 - years not months !!!!

Hahahaha    Lola eats chicken wings like that too! Her belly looks rather full afterwards, but she lies in front of the fire for a couple of hours and then is back wanting more...........

Where do they fit it all !!! lol

Couple of bites to crush the bones then swallow!!   

Haha oh dear they do like to worry us! This topic makes me a feel a bit better about Bane!

We had a scare with him and a nylabone once! Got a pack of 3: 2 edible and one not. The first edible took him days to finish, but when it came to giving him the second, I left the room and seconds later he came trotting through with no nylabone in site! It was like a magic trick!   
We also have a stupid weird old man on the street that chucks his scrap food into the road! We try to keep away but Bane managed to pick up a bone of some sorts once...I wrestled with him to try and get it out, as soon as I got his mouth opened he swallowed it...whole  

Alfie has just swallowed his last bit of raw hide chew whole and scared the absolute life out of me! He seems fine though, he didn't choke or anything just one minute it was there the next it was gone!! I'm encouraging him to drink lots so hopefully he'll be fine! As soon as he did it I knew exactly which post on here I needed to re-read! Why do they do it to us?! Xx

He"ll probably be fine Hun but Beware of raw hide, it can swell in the stomach, even small bits, I won't give Darcy it.

No after this I don't think Alfie will be having it again xx

Just keep your eye on him

Thanks I will do he seems fine. Wish he hadn't done it so close to bedtime though I will never sleep now! Xx

If it makes you feel better set your alarm for 3/4 am then you can check him xx

He's all good (phew !)

I think I have '1st time Mum' syndrome, I dont remember my kids being this much hard work/worry !!!!   

Aww bek they don't half worry us don't they xx

Aw glad he's all good! I swear they do it sometimes just to watch us freak out and worry about them

Glad he is fine Vin did exactly the same thing when he was a pup gosh I went into panic mode.   

Is it ok to give a pup on kibble, raw chicken wings, thought I'd have to cook it.
