Emergency treatment is obviously necessary if you find that your dog suddenly appears to be choking.   It may simply be a  bone or splinter of wood that can be seen at the back of the throat, in which case it can be removed.  If however, you cannot see what has caused the  problem it may be because the foreign object has been embedded too deep in the dog’s throat.  In which case emergency treatment by a Veterinarian is essential.
