1. Pat the dog's back gently
You can pat the dog's back gently and try to help it cough out the obstruction. At the same time, keep the dog's head lower than the body, which can promote the obstruction in the esophagus to slide toward the stomach and reduce the risk of suffocation.
2. Use edible oil for lubrication
You can try to pour a small amount of edible oil into your dog to help lubricate the obstruction in the esophagus. However, it is important to note that oil filling can only be used as a temporary relief measure and cannot replace professional medical treatment.
3. Use pliers
If the obstruction is a foreign body visible to the naked eye, such as fish bones or bones, and the location is relatively superficial, you can consider using clean tweezers to gently pinch it out. . But be extra careful when handling it yourself to avoid further damage to your dog's esophagus and mouth.
4. Determine the location of the obstruction
If the obstruction is at the entrance of the esophagus, an esophageal bougie may be used to clear it. If the obstruction is in the middle or lower part of the esophagus, surgery may be needed. It is recommended to take the puppy to a regular pet hospital in time. The veterinarian will use professional instruments to diagnose the location of the obstruction and take corresponding treatment measures according to the situation.
When dealing with such problems, be sure to judge based on the actual situation and seek professional veterinary help in a timely manner if necessary.
