OK, so I'm sitting here listening to C2C and I hear this kind of brushing or slamming on my front porch. I know whatever it is, it's pretty big, might be human, might be bigfoot!
So I get ready (meaning well armed), turn on my front light and look - there doesn't seem to be anything there... then a black lab that kinda hangs around the neighborhood jumps on me, I almost blow her to bits!
Well I gave her some chicken bones and dog biscuits I have tied her up, now she's whining a bit and I might have to let her go or maybe put her in my backyard until morning, I know who owns her but feel pretty stupid knocking on their door at 2 AM...
anyways, hell, she DID scare the wiggies out of me!
I know alot of people say that about chicken bones.
It might have happened a few times, but in general, I would say it’s a myth.
Dogs digestive system is in fact quite like humans - heavily acidic in the first stage, aimed to decompose animal proteins to amino acids, then rapid passage through their small intestines and relatively short, pretty straight colon.
I’ve seen dogs eat worse than that! But your concern is noted.
And I would never give them JUST bones.
I gave her a bunch of dog biscuits too.
So I am sure she’s ok.
When one of kids would get a fishbone stuck in a gullet our Mom would have us east bread to get it down. Worked, too.
Beats paying the doctor to get rid of them.........
No chicken bones, Black Labs Matter!!!
Lol!!
Exactly. Watch out for sharp bones. Chicken bones tossed over the fence by a well wisher sent my Brittany to the vet and a couple of hundred bucks in his bills. Splintery cooked steak and chop bones can also tear at dog’s insides. Best bones are beef leg bones, raw. Cooking makes them brittle and sharp.
You gave her chicken bones? She might return after her visit to the vet.
No BONES of any kind.
We had to take one of our dogs to the vet hospital to have a knot from a rawhide bone removed from his esophagus.
Our family dog, that I grew up with, died from a bone getting caught in his intestine and we never gave him chicken bones.
No rawhides, no bones, just love (and plenty of dog cookies)
Chicken bones can tear up a dogs gut.
I’ve heard that raw bones, even raw poultry bones, are OK for dogs, but that cooked bones are apt to splinter and cause injury.
Oh man...tears in my eyes.
Vets tell us NOT to feed CHICKEN BONES to dogs. Then can
splinter in the gut and tear it. (Vets see firsthand the
results that can occur from chicken bones.) We used to feed
them to our dogs; but won’t risk it now.
