Don't apologize for asking questions, that's what we are here for :-) You need to be very careful when dealing with a dog who is choking. That's because they can panic, and you could accidentally get hurt. If you can, gently open their mouth to see if there is a foreign object there causing the choking, and remove it if possible. Use your fingers or the flat handle of a spoon. If that doesn't work, you many need to try to get it out of her throat. I have attached a video that shows you want to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO3X-hoqfB0
