I will tell you the story. Ok yesterday I put the Halti on Major and then gave him a rawhide to chew on. I was with him for about 10 minutes because I won't leave him unattended. I saw some pink on the rawhide, barely any, and I thought, could this be blood? I didn't know, because it didn't look like it, but why else would it be that color? So I took the rawhide away and took his halti off.
Today he started chewing on his doghouse, so I figured his gums were irrating him. I put the Halti on him and gave him this chew 'n brush Milk Bone thing. I was watching him very closely because it was getting smaller, and I didn't want him to choke on it or anything. Well he was doing fine, and then it came out of his mouth and I saw red on it. So I was gonna grab it when I next got the chance. I didn't want to stick my hand in his throat though, in case it went further down. So as soon as it came out again I grabbed it and took it inside. It had some blood on it, very noticeable, but not like a whole bunch.
Is this normal for puppies? Or do you think he might have cut himself somehow? Or do you think the way he was chewing, he might have cut himself with his own tooth? He didn't make any noises, as if he was in pain, but I don't really know what to think.:confused: :(
