macoduck Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Eek! Niña ate some cooked chicken bones- a leg and a wing - that DH did not put out of reach when he left the kitchen. She does not like bread so I put some peanut butter on it and she ate most of a slice. Then I made her a grilled cheese sandwich and she ate most of that. Is there anything else I could have given her to help protect her innards from the bones?

Guest Energy11 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hey Ducky! You've done all you really can. The peanut butter and grilled cheese were a very good idea. Most likely, she will be fine. You know to look for signs of discomfort, bloody stools, etc. As with anything sharp or caustic, we don't induce vomiting, as it could cut coming back up. Just keep an eye on her. Good Luck! They DO get into trouble, don't they! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trevdog Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 That should work! Reiley got a cooked turkey neck and wing a few weeks ago, I could only get her to eat 1 piece of bread. About 24 hours later, the remnants were safely passed through her system. She seemed quite happy about her exploits too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 That should do it. Arrow ate an entire chicken breast shortly after coming home to us. Everything came out fine in the end.

Guest lil_pip88 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm glad I found this topic! I had no idea that bread could help when your dog gets at bones they're not supposed to! So how much bread are you supposed to give? Just one slice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozgirl2 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If you have any Metamucil, use some of that too. But the bread should help a lot!

Guest Energy11 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Mine haven't (gotten into uncooked chicken bones)YET :-( RE: how much bread? When Curfew at the rolled up tube of CET toothpaste (metal), I gave two hotdog rolls. It all came out fine in the poop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Most likely she'll be fine...even w/o the bread. Their stomach is a pretty hostile/acidic environment and these are pretty big dogs. Just be on the lookout for the usual signs of distress. Two hot dog buns sounds about what we'd give in a similar situation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Greyt_dog_lover Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Uncooked chicken bones are GOOD for your hound, not a problem, its the cooked ones that become brittle and a possible problem. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rachelee Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Bistro finds cooked chicken bones on the street all the time. I never knew how much discarded chicken there is on the street until we brought him home. I usually manage to avoid it, but sometimes he sneaks something in. Bread gives Bistro the big D, so I don't really want to do that... but he's been okay so far. I asked the vet about it and they said to just keep an eye on him (which I always do) and to not worry about it so much. Hope Nina's doing okay. (edited because I couldn't get the ˜ to work properly. Sorry.) Edited December 22, 2009 by rachelee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry.) So far no barfing so I guess she's OK. The trick to adding the ñ in her name is to type Ni, then hold the ALT key down while you enter the number 164. When you release the ALT the ñ will appear. However this does not work with some laptops and definitely does not work by trying to type the N key and the squiggle key at the same time.
