Not even witch femur bones? Would it depend on which witch? LOL!First of all, I don't think witch bones are good for anyone!![]()
Me too! LOL I have respect for anyone who can even half fumble their way through a second language because it's far above and beyond what I can do.Not even witch femur bones? Would it depend on which witch? LOL!
I am on a lot of lists. Every time I see posts by persons for whom English is obviously not their first language, it occurs to me that I would not be able to participate at all if the list used any language but English... it amazes me that so much of the world is able to communicate in multiple languages, and I feel ignorant that I have only one (and that's on a good day LOL!).
The thing about knuckle bones is that the cut which removes them from the whole femur exposes softer, center bone... the cut is sort of an easy entry to the bone. Once upon a time, I went to get a couple of femurs and there were none... so, I got a couple of knuckles instead which weighed about two and a half pounds each. Come home, hand them out, loitering/talking/drinking coffee/smoking on my deck with a friend... and, paying no attention to dogs. A couple of hours later, the knuckle bones are GONE! My knuckle-headed dogs had each EATEN two and a half POUNDS of bone! They were not happy campers for a couple of days... pooping concrete, etc. With the femurs, they never did this since there was no place to get started. I do throw them away after they begin to look dried out and are harder. I suppose I could have had a broken tooth, but it has not happened to any of my dogs.I won't feed rawhide, either. The risk is just too high for my comfort.
I second the suggestion of raw knuckle bones. I personally don't feed weight bearing bones like femurs because they are much harder and can crack teeth. Plus, my dogs can't handle the marrow in those bones; it upsets their stomachs. If you are looking for good things for your dog to chew, you might also look into bully sticks and the Himalayan dog chews. Some dogs also like antlers.
Signs of an obstruction in the intestines might be not eating, eating and then vomiting, vomit which smells something like poop, not pooping, pooping very small quantities of liquid diarrhea, straining very hard to poop. If my dog did anything like this with a few days of eating rawhide, I would probably take her to the vet.yes it flat rawhide chips i am gonna stop giving that to my dog but it not her first time eating that i just want to know what should i watch to know if she is ok and that the bone passed good.
Edit it took her 1 hours and 15min today to eat it and i also got another question if i give a raw bone can she eat it completely or i have to take it out before ?
Yes, you do have to be careful that they don't eat the entire bone in one sittingThe thing about knuckle bones is that the cut which removes them from the whole femur exposes softer, center bone... the cut is sort of an easy entry to the bone.

Bully sticks rock, dried trachea rocks, Himalayan things rock (but are soooo expensive!). I distribute raw dog food, and antlers recently were added to the product list... the first month they were available, the first of my customers who ordered them had a GSD break a canine tooth badly enough that it had to be extracted... I caution everyone who asks about ordering them that they probably are not a safe choice for power chewers.
