  4. Had a chihuahua decades ago. She was given bones in the 70s and 80s. She broke the pointed piece of a pork chop bone. I noticed her pawing her chin till it was about to bleed. I took the chance if being bitten ( she was 99.9 % my grandma's dog). I looked in the roof of her mouth and saw it wedged. I got my finger under it and forced it out. I had just started interest in veterinary med thanks to my rescue Spitz having heartworm that were not showing on a blood test due to her having all male or all female heartworm. Therefore no microfilaria in the blood. I had a fantastic vet , Dr . HARRIS on Aldine Mail RT in Houston ,Texas. He stuck with it with a gut feeling it was heartworm. Sent us to a specialist. He taught me through all of that and every thing he addressed. I should have asked him to take me on as a vet tech and teach me. He moved to Florida . I miss him !! It was 1980 – 81 or 82. I hope you read this ,Dr Harris ! I later went to work as a trainee vet tech and studied on my own. But the vet wanted me to do euthanasia. As it was, I had to go out the back door when the vet did one and cry. So we parted on good terms and I stayed as his patient or my fur children did😊. Now I am in NE tx and can't find a good vet nor human Dr after over 20 years. But Houston is Chicago 2.0. 😢 I'm sure Dr Harris in retired or has passed. But know he is remembered ! God bless him and his family. And thank you for being a great vet and wonderful caring person.

  7. My service dog school told us to never let out dogs even pick up a stick. They are taught not to, but it doesn’t mean they might not try. They said it’s a choking hazard. Same goes with rawhide, pigs ears, feet, tracheas, bones of any kind (cooked or raw), and other such body parts. Choking hazards. The only safe options are Bully Sticks which sort of melt when chewed and antlers (which are much harder bone and won’t splinter or break if it’s appropriately sized — even if a teeny bit breaks off, it won’t get stuck and is easily swallowed/digested. Many toys are choking hazards too. Gotta supervise and be careful what you’re buying. Thanks for bringing attention to choking hazards, doctor!

  9. My cat is indoor only. I saw her pawing her mouth and rubbing it on her paws. Nothing was inside her mouth. Her mouth was puffing up and was obviously causing itching. I had given her a different brand of kitty treats. She had an allergic reaction. I only had Benadryl cream and hydrocortisone cream. I put Benadryl cream on and that helped greatly. I now know my older shelter kitty has multiple skin and food allergies. I keep liguid benadryl in my cabinet now. I give her a cat food with the he least amount of ingredients. I never use topical flea meds. The vet put one on her and she broke out in a rash and some fur fell out. I use homegrown organic catnip that i dried and i sprinkle it all over areas where she sleeps. I just got some diatomaceous clay to add to her treatment. Ty for the vids. Btw i had a rat terrier that got a stick wedged vertically in his mouth. Very scary, but i got it out without him having any injuries ♥️

  14. I liked how you “bonked” your dog and you didn’t edit it out. I watch my daughter in law’s dogs most weekends. One has an itchy paws. I have them for 3 weeks in September. I’m looking forward to trying out liquorice root on her. Thank you for your videos. ❤

  19. The worst is when your dog gets the wrong sized stick and decides to run while holding it like a cigar in their mouth. I have seen dogs get hurt when the end of the stick digs into the ground and it gets rammed in their throat.

  20. We drove our dog an hour and a half to the emergency at night for this same reason! Gosh we were scared, but I’d say throwing the stick for Tula vs giving her a concussion with a ball would have been safer! 🤣poor little Tula

  23. Great video.
    This happened to my dog. He was a fresh rescue, already over 80 pounds and ran to me bucking and flipping all over. He was panicked.
    I try to keep the sticks picked up but having huge trees they still drop.
