Hey /an/, I just had to save my Rottweiler's life by pulling a tennis ball out of it's throat that it swallowed because it didn't want to give it back.
I took her to the vet and had her looked at and they said she should be fine, just watch her for excessive sleepiness or lack of a desire to eat.
She's eaten and she's still acting like herself right now, but do you guys have any other things you think I should watch for and any advice for dealing with dogs who are choking in the future? Because having to wait until she was weak enough to let me stick my hand down her throat to pull out the tennis ball wasn't fun.

It doesnt cost much to get certified in dog CPR fyi.
I'd take the online course if I were you. Might give you some peace of mind

the best thing would be to work on her "release". if she would have let go when you told her to she would not have choked.
another thing would be to try to avoid playing with things your dog might choke on.

Our Rottweiler died because it was greedy and choked on a bone she wanted to eat.
I was not there and my sister was too frightened to do something against it. Really really sad day for me since I grew up with that dog and loved her a lot.
I am glad you acted. All the best for your and your friend!
