My dog choked, then ate. Could he still have a partial blockage?

Question

Our dog was choking earlier, we did the Heimlich maneuver, and then enduced vomiting. The hacking stopped after that. After some time, we tried giving him some food and water. He ate a full meal and drank. Could he still have a partial blockage? Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Male | neutered | 1 year and 5 months old | 62 lbs

Good job to stop the choking. If Finn ate his food normally then there is no blockage. He may do a little coughing afterwards as his throat may have become irritated. This will resolve in a few days. Thanks to your quick actions he should be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.
