urget please help!!!!!

ooooooooooomg,

i knew vinnie didnt chew as much as hes meant to, but i just gave him a whole chicken drumstick raw and he swallowed it WHOLE
im really scared hes not choking or anything what should i do?

im never doing that again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will he be okay ?????????

If he's not showing any signs of stress he should be fine , surprising what they can handle and as its raw his body acids should be able to break it down ok. Obviously keep an eye on him to be sure

He should be fine, just keep an eye on him! Only thing I'd say is a drumstick is too small for a Stafford pup, I'd be more inclined to give at least a wing/leg quarter!

Holding it while he eats is a good way of teaching him to chew his food first.

Im sorry I cant help other than does your puppy look okay and watch him careful for going off his food, being sick, breathing, getting depressed, not being able to toilet ????
Not saying raw is bad but I had a bad experience with mine with bones and I never fed them again I couldnt risk it

He should be fine so long as he isn't choking. Just keep an eye on him.

okay phew i was really scared he was going to like flip out or something

he seems fine!! he licked the floor just after he swallowed it had a drink and layed down......

ahh that was so scary ! hopefully his body will break it down otherwise thats going to be one painful poo! haha

First time I gave Bailey a raw chicken wing, my fingers ended up down his throat cos he choked on it whole

Then I started holding it while he crunched it up, now he just gets left with it but he only eats them frozen

my troy done the same with a drumstick when a pup or should i say smaller lol he was fine i was scared too try not to worry

I think the bigger concern is if they first chew the bones and splinter them, they can cause harm on the way down. But this appears to have made it down the hatch intact...I suspect you'll be seeing it in some form in a day or two...

Raw chicken bones are fine for dogs, it's cooked bones that cause problems! Actually, any bones are fine for dogs aslong as they are raw!

Hope Vinnie will be okay. Just keep an eye on him and make sure he is still drinking

Know how u feel ! When I fed Diesel raw, I remember the day she had a chicken wing at 9wks, she's downed it in one ! And I was freaking out lol !!

They kinda crunch cruch swallow, job done !

Thanks for the reassurance made me feel better lol, he started choking last night but only lasted a couple seconds so must of picked up something else in his bloody snout,

he seems fine drinking and eating as normal, thank you! x

Glad that he is okay

good news , they do tend to enjoy making us worry at times
