What is wrong with a dog if she acts like she is choking when excited or eating?

Answer 1

Chances are your pet is stressed or scared. If it was choking but is still alive then problem already solved.

I had a dog who did this during seizures that were caused by calcium deficiency. Please take your dog to the vet.

AnswerIt can be something caught in his teeth or throat, or it can be a tooth infection or maybe he ate something that is causing him problems. If he's had his shots it isn't rabies. If the problem doesn't clear up right away, take the dog to a Vet in your area and have him checked out. AnswerYour poor dog should have been in the vets a long time ago. Dogs don't usually foam at the mouth if they have a bad tooth. Something could be caught in it's throat, or, possible heart problems. As the other poster said it's highly unlikely the dog has rabies if you have kept up the dog's shots at the vet. TAKE YOUR DOG TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY! If in doubt about how your pet is feeling put yourself in their shoes and it's worth taking the pet to the vet.

Answer 2

Hopefully you've already had him to a vet!! Could be number of things but sounds like a seizure. Had a dog with same symptoms- vet put him on phynebarbital once a day and was good as gold . Also medicine is really inexpensive . About 12$ per months worth. Is very painful for dog so please make sure and have him checked. Tell vet symptoms if he wants to do all types test just tell him you just want phen.. To stop seizures.. Will save you money if that's a concern. Good luck

Answer 3

Take you dog to see a qualified animal doctor (a vet) - do not let you doge bite you and keep away form the foam - he may be rabid.

Answer 4

Take it to the vet, and don't let it bite you.

If it only foams at the mouth while eating, it's probably just normal drool. However, if it seems out of the ordinary for the dog, you should get it to the vet ASAP.
