Poor Charlie ( another poopy thread )

[bckrazy]

That sucks SO much. Poor Charlie, and poor you. Your hubby owes both of you an apology. I'm really hoping your handsome Aussie boy feels better soon... and I hope to God he doesn't have a block or the sharp edges have punctured his intestines, that would be terrible.

For future reference, cooked bones are extremely brittle and should never be fed, as you know. Teach your husband that these are never safe for Charlie, but raw chicken/turkey wings & leg quarters are perfectly safe. I feed Gonzo raw chicken wings several times a week, and he has not had a single problem.

Well the vet said he probably had a small infection from one possibly scratching him. So hopefully he will be feeling better soon.

So RAW chicken n turkey. Not beef? k. And not so many too right?

Oh, that's a lot better than a blockage, at least!

No, you can also feed beef bones, lamb bones, some people feed pork, etc. However, weight-bearing beef bones like soup bones can be too hard on teeth. I give my dogs beef & lamb ribs mostly for recreational chewing and those are fine. I recommend the book "Give Your Dog A Bone" by Dr. Ian Billinghurst, it explains a lot about raw feeding and what bones are good. http://www.rawlearning.com is good too!
