My rat terrier has eaten a pork bone and now has a sliver and is coughing. how can i help him?

My dog (miniature maltese) choked on a bone once and i had to stick my hand down her throat and pull it out. Try that first and then take your dog to the vet. Raw bones are good for dogs but cooked bones are not. The reason is the cooked bones splinter and cause just this sort of problem. Don't panic, just try to pull it out on your way to the vet (get someone else to drive you) Hope your dog is ok. let us know what happens.
