I know there was a thread recently about swallowing balls, etc. and I don't want to start a campaign for "not giving the dog a ball" but I read a thread in a German forum about a dog who found a ball with "nobbles" on it, raced back to the owner and, in excitement, swallowed the ball. The owner spent an hour, pushing the ball to one side to give him air but lost the battle. Although the dog was quiet in between, her hands and arms are now in plaster of paris and her fight was in vain.

My question is: if this does happen, what are the "first aid" measures??

I don't think this is something we should be totally scared of, but, if it happens, it would be good to know what to do.
