throat hurt with pointed stick

my staffy ran into a stick which lodged into the ground and stabbed him in throat. he seemed fin after spitting up some blood but now he coughing when he moves his head and seem uncomfortable. bit late for vets what should i do? any advice much apreciated

Is he still spitting blood? If so call an out of hours vet for advice. I'm guessing it was inside the throat and not outside so you can't really see what's going on

no hes not spitting blood now only coughing when he moves his head in certain directions and yes it was inside his mouth to the back of the troat. looked bad at the time.

Oh poor Ronin, I must say I agree with Ian if he is in distress call the out of hours vet!! Sticks can be very dangerous for our babies, I, like Ian use the safe stix that cant harm them. Please keep us informed on how he is

He will feel the irritation for sure and that will make him cough but if you are at all worried call the out of hours vet and they should be able to advise you, do let us know how he gets on.

Update: ronin is much better and didn't need to go to vet. I wont be using sticks now and am looking into a safestix. thanks all for the advice.

Ah great news

They do like to worry us don't they

So glad he's ok Have a look on amazon, that's where I got Katy's from

we took him to the vet there because he started spewing blood and acting sore again. vet said we should taken him  there the day it happened instead of waiting.. vet said hes clearing the wound and hell be ok.

At least you know all will be ok now. To be honest the only reason I got Flo the Stix is because she used to not only rip the wooden sticks to shreds but she would also eat half of it and that's where is saw the £ signs floating gently in to the hands of our friendly merc driving vet
