I think my dog still choking

I think my dog ate the stuffing from a stuffed animal about 2 days ago and I think he's still choking.  He's still eating but he's lost alot of weight and he's already small to begin with.  Is thier somekind of home remidy or should I take him to that Vet. He is a 4 month old chiuaha

BluCrystal is absolutely correct.  You need to get him to a vet NOW.  I wouldn't even wait until tomorrow, I would go to an emergency vet TONIGHT because if part of the toy is somehow wrapped around something internally, waiting until tomorrow could be too late.  He could also have a blockage from part of the toy getting lodged at the opening where the stomach empties into the small intestine.  Please don't delay.  Let us know what the vet says.

Go to the vet asap.  Stuffing can become stringy in the abdomen and cause severe digestive problems, including death if not treated.
