Hi. I THINK my dog inhaled a small treat. He did cough a couple times, but I am not sure he got it out. He is acting completely normal now...But, what should I watch out for? Thanks!

Poor Cruz! Watch for continued coughing, lethargy, a decrease in appetite, gagging, and vomiting. If you see any of those signs, then I would be concerned and have him checked out by a vet. I hope this helps!
