Think of Duke UPDATE

[Pam]

Prayers will be going up for Dukey. At least it is not in his windpipe and he is breathing OK. Please try to relax (easy for me to say).

I feel like such a horrible mommy,

You are not a horrible mommy. Dogs get into trouble in the blink of an eye. I have to get ready to leave for work soon but will be thinking of Duke while I am away and will check back in as soon as I come back. (((hugs)))

You are not a horrible mommy. Dogs get into trouble in the blink of an eye.

That is so true. They can be lying at your feet being perfect angels, you turn your head to sneeze and they are into something. And we love them in spite of, or maybe because of, their adventurous spirits.

I am glad to hear it was nothing serious. He will probably be quiet for a few hours, then watch out, Duke is back.

hugs for Dukey and mommy!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Awwwww!!!! Thoughts and prayers going out to both of you. Don't beat yourself up anymore, Traci. We can't possibly be everywhere all the time. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Feel better Duke

[Animalhouse26]

Thank goodness he is ok! Give him Pats for me!

Poor Duke Dog! What a scare it must have been, Traci. Glad it's over with now hopefully he leaves you a nice present in the backyard. Hehe.

Hugs and kisses to that sweet boy.

How frightening for you . I am so very glad to hear it was nothing serious and that he will be feeling back to himself soon. Try not to be too hard on yourself. Even the best dog mommies miss things sometimes.

I'm glad to hear he'll be fine!!

This is great news! I am so glad that handsome boy is OK.

hopefully he leaves you a nice present in the backyard. Hehe.

I was thinking the same thing. Pooper scooping could be interesting in the next day or so.

That must have been so scary. I'm sorry it happened to Duke, but glad
the Vet cleared him from further injury. I hope his throat feels better soon.

You are a good mommy & got him help as quickly as possible.

I just wanted to let you all know Duke is doing much better today. He still has a cough when he gets overly excited but nothing compared to before. He relaxes and gets himself under control in less than a minute where before he was probably getting coughing attacks that were lasting 3-4 minutes, to the point I thought he was going to collapse because of not being able to catch his breath. No more pawing at his mouth so the swelling and irritation in his throat must be going down and the feeling of something being stuck is subsiding. I never want to experience anything like that again! He has been on a full days worth of medications and there is a definite improvement. He has a followup on Monday with the vet. Thanks to all for all the well wishes, prayers and support.
