We have a 9 year old female English Bulldog (on the high end of life expectancy already), and a 1.5 year old French bulldog female. They both have food aggression towards each other EXTREME! So the dogs gulp down their food without chewing sometimes. Well one of twins thought it would be a great idea to feed the dogs some table scraps. What I mean by table scraps is my son giving the dogs whole burritos. The English swallows the damn burrito whole. The Frenchie just grabs it and runs away to devour it on the other side of the back yard. Fast forward to a day later the English is throwing up in the backyard this thick white foamy mess. I am at work and my son calls me to tell me that he thinks the English is starting to die because she can't breath very well. It takes him few minutes to tell me that yesterday they were given burritos. During the conversation on the phone he yells, "I think she is trying to throw up the burrito, because I can see something white!" He takes a look and sure enough a big chunk of burrito is half way out her mouth stuck in her throat. So he picks her up and tries to do the Heimlich on the dog. It works partially so he puts her on her back and "kinda punches her stomach" to get her to cough it up. Says everything is ok at this point. Wow am I relieved. Get home the dog is wheezing like a old man with congestive heart failure. I give her some prednisone we have lying around in the cabinet, but that doesn't seem to work. My wife gets home from work a few minutes later and goes into full code mode. Seriously, she runs and gets the boys old nebulizer and some albuterol and starts giving her a breathing treatment. Doesn't work. Take her to the vet, they can't get an I.V. so my wife starts one for them. They pump her full of steroids, and anti inflammtory medicine. They put her in an 02 tent to get her saturation up. We have to leave her for a few hours and call back to see if she gets better. Meanwhile my wife is a wreck. She picked out the dog while on a run from a litter in our neighborhood when we first moved here. We go over all the options. The vet said we can give her a tracheostomy and we both said, "NO!" Not putting her through a difficult surgery. We decide that we will put her down if her symptoms don't improve and we don't want to see her struggle to breath. Get a call back from the VET, she is doing better, but very weak. Vet wants to keep her, wife says no we want her home.
So we have her home since yesterday afternoon, and she looks ok one minute and playing a little with the other dog, the next minute is completely passed out and snoring loudly. Even more loudly than before. Has spells of sleep apnea that scare the hell out of my wife. At this point it is touch and go with everyone walking on pins and needles. Hopefully she gets better, but if not I hope she at least goes in her sleep soon. FML
Morale don't feed burritos whole to dogs.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear. We both work in the medical field. Probably need a little help in the teach your kids not to feed a whole burrito to the dog area. 
The dog was getting better at the vet, but you wanted to bring it home so it would definitely die?
