[rawfeeding] Re: gulping puppy

For the record, here, my guy (senior cocker) gulped down a huge piece of
liver and choked (not just gagged) to the point where he couldn't breathe for a
few moments. Thankfully, he coughed it up. Now I'm really scared to give
him larger pieces of boneless meat/organs, etc. He knows enough to at least
try to chew on or break down the bones, but he won't use his paws to tear so he
just chews and swallows anything boneless. Well, and chicken feet too.
Very disconcerting.


So I'd be reluctant to advise anyone to giver larger pieces of boneless meat
UNLESS they were sure their pup is capable of ripping/tearing before
swallowing. Honestly, it was a nightmare there for those few seemingly endless
moments.

Responses welcome. I'm on edge every day now.
