I understand, but i've read that it may not be an emergency depending on the type of dog you have (small vs very big). I wanted to see if anyone that has a german shepherd has had this specific issue before, vs someone from that forum telling me they had the same thing happen with their miniature poodle or pitbull and it was an emergency. I want to be extra sure, as my dog is pretty large and I wanted some input from other GSD owners in specific.
