Re: I saved a life today!
OK. Not mouth to mouth... It was more like straw to mouth. I can't stand the taste of fish!!!
We're not really sure why the dog keeled over. She either choked on something and neither of us noticed, or the dog had a seizure. But she really just dropped over without struggling at all. She did lose bladder control, not sure if that was indicative of a siezure or dying?
I thank God I was there to help. Otherwise the dog would have died... Sue had given up without trying anything. Next time, I think if something happens, she'll act instead of panic.

Yes....me too!!! :laugh1 :rofl :laugh1
She's a Bull breed??
Get the Vet to check her soft palate...sometimes it is too long and flaps back into the throat and prevents air getting in...this gets progressively worse as the dog gets older.
It would be worth having her check it out as it sounds to me as if she needs this dog right now!!
Well done for the quick thinking, picking the dog up by it's hind paws if it is small enough and swinging it back and forth is a good way to start the heart and the lungs and dislodge anything obstructing the airways at the same time....it works, too, I brought a small child with an obstruction (can't do Heimlich on a child) back this way.

Hey. I loved that fish! LOL. Got another year out of him!
Yes, Maxie is a French Bulldog and I'll ask Sue if she's had her pallet checked. I love bulldogs, but man... They have soooo many issues!
My next choice is a blue Dane, but I like the look of the cropped ears... :oops: So I probably wont get one of those either... I'll just stick with ponies...
