Gryffenne Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Help! Sammi got into the trash sometime this evening and gnawed down quite a few cooked baby-back rib bones! Is there anything I can do to help make sure that these come out of her safely??? I am in tears here and my dad is kicking himself for leaving the ribs in the trash and not taking it outside.

Batmom Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Feed a couple slices of bread or dinner rolls; helps cushion any sharp bits. You'll want to watch her for a few days, but don't panic. Most often, these things pass with no incident at all. Hugs.

Guest Energy11 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 When Curfew ate the rolled up CET toothpaste tube, which was aluminum, I worried. I gave him a couple of hot dog rolls to "cushion" the sharp things. It all came out right. Hoping for the same with you. They usually chew those things pretty well! Good luck, hugs and prayers from here! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeForHounds Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Pork rib bones should be fine. They don't tend to splinter like cooked beef bones or even worse cooked chicken bones.

Gryffenne Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thank you for the quick replies I fed her a couple slices of bread. So far,no tummy soreness... tho she's starting to give me weird looks for constantly checking her stomach. i was severely worried about sharpness because of how the shards I gathered up from the crimescene felt rough in my hand. But I guess what went down was soft enough to not cause her throat issues. Keeping fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootsyCollins Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I have a friend who feeds his dogs cooked bones all the time. Yes, I've told him how dangerous it is, but he still gives them to her because "she loves them." So far, so good. Knock wood. My point is, don't worry.

Gryffenne Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Suprisingly.. no napalm gas from whatever pork & fat were left on the bones And rabbit-like poops this morning. *walk a bit... poop a couple nuggets.... walk a bit... couple more... walk a bit.. oh! there's one more!* I decided that I would switch her RMB meal to evening, since it appears she doesn't need anymore bone in her diet atm.

Sighthounds4me Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 For future referrence, I have heard cotton balls soaked in something yummy work as well as bread. Broth, milk, gravy, whatever...
