I am very sorry to hear about Tomy. If he truly has bones stuck in his throat this is a medical emergency and he needs to go to the vet immediately. They can sedate him and try to manually remove the bones, which requires a delicate hand as damage to the esophagus can be very dangerous. Sometimes dogs can also have vomiting or retching when something like a bone is in the stomach, which also needs veterinary attention.
