Dangerous dog treats

Just found this out...it was on the news tonight and I missed parts of it and then I typed in cnn and found the artical...heres the link! http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/14/dangerous.dogtreat/index.html

The date says Feb 15th..wonder why it was on again tonight? Maybe it was a rerun

Oh yeah Greenies. They just came out with new ones that arent suppose to break off in big pieces.

well I think I'll stick to the regular bones, I dont want my babies dyin on me!

I've given them to Legend and Tasha. They've never had a problem. BUT they also both chew throughly! lol. Gemyni I wouldnt give to unless I'm sitting right next to her watching!

You just have to watch your dog in most cases. Raw hide and such can do the same thing if you are giving them a lot and they aren't fully chewing them up. I have heard of a dog dying from chewing on it's bed time blanket, the cotton backed up in the stomach lining and killed him.

My cousin has an Irish Setter that was chewing on one of those rope toys and pieces of the rope got stuck in his throat...she had to take him in for surgery to get it removed. I usually give dog treats or I give them pig ears..sometimes I will order filled choo-hooves(trimmed hooves from cattle) from doctors foster and smith.

Remember in chat when I asked a question about my husbands son's dog tigger? Well he had taken him in that night, and the doctor did an ultra sound of his stomach. She found a the top part to a mascara tube in his tummy! So she set him up for surgery that night, he can pick him up today at 4:30 today. Thats what was giving him the runs and makening him not eat for two days....

Mascara tube? Oh MY! I'm glad they took him in!

Yeah just the top part of it, like the brush...looks like he swallowed it whole or something!! He started snapping on his girlfriend and made her put all her make up in the cabinet...where is should of been in the first place

Yeah I agree or at least up so that the puppy couldnt get to it!

As for treats, i just give milk bones or dentabones... Or the odd piece of meat...

Well actually a few weeks ago Midas swolled my poney tail holder thank goodness he threw it back up but he threw up six or seven times before he did. I'm glad he was able to get it out without surgery, I was thinking he ate a bone without chewing or something had no idea that he had the poney tail holder. Funny thing is I was leaning back in my chair at the desk and pulled it off I couldn't see where it landed and just didn't think more about it until he threw it up and it took me five minutes to realize what it was. You should have saw me trying to figure it out. Nasty geeeww crap all over it, YUCK!! We really do have to be careful with them, they are worse then the kids.
