Yesterday, my son took Blossom for a walk to the corner store, and on the way, there is a grassy field where everyone takes a shortcut to go to the Plaza. While they were walking, Blossom found a whole apple that somebody had taken one bite out of and then threw it away. My son didn't see it because the grass was high, she inhaled the whole apple, and was trying to swallow it whole. My son was afraid she would choke on it, so he tried to take it out of her mouth, he pried her mouth open, and she was fighting hard to keep that apple. He put his hand in her mouth, and grabbed the apple, and she clamped down on his finger, she didn't really put a bite mark in his finger, just a tiny point, and it didn't bleed, but he said she crushed his bone In his finger, and he couldn't open her mouth. He said it really hurt. He did get the apple away from her, and she really didn't mean to bite him, she is just so food motivated and she really wanted that apple. They sure do have strong jaws when they want to.
The app,e itself wouldn't have hurt her, but if she had swallowed it whole or in huge pieces, she could have choked, or it may have caused an obstruction, plus I always worry that the apple could have something on it or in it, I know paranoid right? But we've had a few cases where people have planted food like hotdogs, mini sausages and other things with poison, razor blades, and other dangerous objects at dog parks to make dogs sick or die. It's terrible that people would do this on purpose to harm an animal. I hope my sons finger is okay, and he doesn't get an infection.
