If you're a reader of this blog, you've seen this little guy. Sweet as can be right?
Of course he is!
Unless you look like this that is:
See, Exo either really likes frogs or really hates them. We aren't quite sure which.
So one night, we were deep in the process of house training. It was at least the millionth time I'd taken him out that day and it was now night time.
We run to the back door, attach the leash with a little bit of fighting and all three of us (Me, Cody and Exo) trot outside for Exo to do his business.
He had other ideas.
He saw a frog hopping on by, minding it's own business and snatched it out of mid air.
It happened so quick we couldn't do anything but before we knew it, the frog was in his mouth and Cody was snatching it away from him, leaving the frog's leg in Exo's mouth.
Exo must have thought he had a delicious treat because he swallowed it whole and promptly started choking.
Cody and I just stood there. I started shouting "What do I do?!" and Cody says "I don't know! You're the nurse aren't you!?"
"NOT FOR DOGS!" I shouted.
Finally, I decided to act like my little puppy was an infant and snatched him up, threw him over my leg and started hitting him on the back, hoping to dislodge the frog leg.
It was finally expelled from his throat and he happily went about his business after getting lots of cuddles and kisses from me.
My Mexican Taco must be french, because he sure does love his frog legs!

My dogs are bug hunters... flies, spiders, worms... doesn't matter.
There is an info graphic out for how to give a dog CPR but not one of choking that I've seen. Would come in handy. My dogs love to eat things they shouldn't.
I'm just glad that sweet boy did choke!
I actually think you probably did the right thing! I've never had to for my dog but I think its pretty similar to a child. I know that some frogs are poisonous to dogs so I probably would have freaked out too! Other bugs I'm pretty relaxed about. Especially if it is a fly that got in the house. One of my babies is especially good at snatching them out of the air after I've been running after it for 10 minutes with a fly swatter.
I have a long haired chi-weenie! full grown and only 2 pounds!
Oh my goodness. He is absolutely adorable!
Your doggie is sooo adorable!
Oh my goodness I would have panicked (btw that word doesn't look to be spelled right but oh well) if Lila had started choking and I know that throwing her over my knee is out of the question LOL. I'm glad you were able to stop him from choking though :) How is the potty training going?
