Bone overdose!

    Bone overdose!

    Yesterday i put out 8 chicken wing tips,4 each for the dogs.When i was out my daughter gave them ,but bonnie didnt want her's,emma gutsed all her's down and was begging for more,so Casey gave her the other 4.These were unusually huge tips,so today i was expecting constipation and manual extraction [sm=eek.gif]Things are definately not right in the poop department,but she hasnt got constipation,instead her first poop was a runny light beige colour which she strained to get out,it looked like soft concrete,and she has done a fair few tiny soft drops throughout the morning straining slighly for each one. Can too many bones also cause this? I have always encountered the opposite effect. I have seen the above type poops from her before,but only after she has eaten too much the night before...

    Well. . .she did have too much didn't she??  She had double what she was supposed to and they were big.

    Yeah i know what you mean,i knew that statement came out wrong! But when she has too many bones to eat she gets constipation,if she has too much normal food she has runny poops. Her poops are different depending on what she has eaten too much of.

    Too much is too much regardless of what it is so I don't think it's unusual for at least the start to be soft.  I'd get some pumpkin in her to help out whats still inside her since THAT might be good and hard.  Pumpkin will help either situation.

    I'm no expert, but I always thought that feeding any kind of chicken bones are dangerous for dogs, can't they splinter, or cause a bowel obstruction?

      Christine, How's Emma doing? Did she get constipated or is she okay?

    Thanks guys,emma's poops are back to normal today!She never did get constipated.

    Remali -cooked chicken bones,or any cooked bone for that matter are dangerous and should NEVER be given. RAW chicken bones being dangerous is a MYTH! Myself and alot of other members feed raw chicken bones on a regular basis,i'de say these are the most popular bones fed as they are soft,cheap and readily available. Chicken necks particularly are pretty much just soft cartlilage.

    Thanks Ozzie, I didn't know that about raw chicken bones.  This forum is a good source of info, I'm finding out that there are a lot of things that I didn't know, or, like you say, are myths.
