Having a foreign object stuck in your throat & airway feels terrifying & overwhelming, like your body is being hijacked by panic & instinct.

Here’s how it can feel:

1. Tightness & pressure: A sudden, gripping sensation in your throat, like something is lodged & won’t move.

2. Air hunger: You try to breathe in, but the air won’t come. Every breath feels shallow, blocked, or completely absent.

3. Gagging & coughing: Your body desperately tries to clear it. You cough, gag, retch, but nothing helps.

4. Burning or sharp pain: It may sting or feel sharp, as though your tissues are being scraped or torn.

5. Panic: As seconds tick by & oxygen feels scarce, your heart races. You feel dizzy, frantic, helpless.

6. Noise: Breathing becomes loud, wheezing, honking, or a high-pitched gasp called stridor.

7. Loss of control: You can’t speak, can’t swallow, & instinctively clutch your throat.

It’s not just uncomfortable — it’s a crisis.

This is what many brachycephalic dogs live with every single day due to anatomical blockages like elongated soft palates.

They aren’t just “noisy” they’re struggling to survive.

Now Morty breathes, plays, & lives without fear.

Because every dog deserves to breathe freely.
