I think my puppy has something stuck in her mouth, and I’m worried about her, but I really can’t afford an emergency vet unless I have to. It started about 20 minutes ago. She keeps pawing at her mouth and she can eat but won’t drink. I tried looking in her mouth several times with a flashlight but I don’t see anything. Any ideas? Do you think I should take her in?
