BrunoBella Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 No they certainly don't swallow their tongues. Pretty hard to do if you've ever seen how big a whole tongue is They can bite their tongues but this is not usually a major problem and is hard to prevent. Best first aid is to reassure the dog and protect it from injury - eg move hard objects out of the way, put head on your lap and provide comfort. It's pretty scary for dogs as well as their humans.

stand. poodle fan Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Just be a little carefull with cuddling a seizing dog when they have regained consciousness - I was bitten the first time as my dog was very disorientated and does not recognise me when he first comes out of the siezure. Sometimes he wants to be near me and other times he stays away for several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
