Well I can’t help you there, since both are things you sould never, ever, under any circumstances, feed to a dog. Period. So the comment, while an example of hyperbole, was hardly made in ignorance. I realize that you disagree with me on whether chicken bones are okay for dogs, and we will just have to agree to disagree. If I have one vet tell me “don’t do that; it’s a bad idea and likely will kill your dog,” I would be highly unlikely to waste my time asking another vet for a second opinion that it is just something that isn’t really likely to kill my dog – unless it’s something I, for some reason, have a highly vested interest in doing. Maybe you have a highly vested interest in feeding chicken bones to your dog, but I do not. It is – I repeat for the nth time – a bad idea. And anyone who disagrees can call their vet. That makes a heck of a lot more sense than taking my word for it – or yours.
Lets see. One will kill your dog instanly. And the other one, well you haven’t given me any examples of it actually killing a dog. In my research I’ve found many healthy happy dogs who do eat raw chicken bones.
So it’s kind of like comparing feeding your dogs raw bones to shooting it with a gun. And as I’ve stated, I’ve known many dogs that are perfectly helathy and happy eating raw chicken bones. I’m curious Jodi. Did you ask your vet if they knew if there was a difference between raw and cooked chicken bones? Or did you simply ask about chicken bones in general.
here’s something from Pets4life.
Now, if you can provide some evidence that uncooked bones are as dangerous as cooked, I’ll agree with you. Until then, you can stop posting rumours.
- My vet told me to never feed my dog and cat bones. Is this true?
Raw bones are very safe to feed to carnivores. Their teeth are made to grind the bone into a powder. Their stomach acid is strong enough to further digest the bone to provide nutrients to the rest of the body. Once the digested bone reaches the gut, digestive enzymes are present to further break down bone material. The carnivore’s body was designed to utilize bone. NEVER feed COOKED BONE to your pet because COOKED BONES DO SPLINTER and can cause severe harm.
Chicken Bones … Anti Freeze … Chicken Bones … Anti Freeze.
Quite a heated argument.
But I think the most important thing to point out here is :
If one more person says “Plugged Anal Glands” I’m go throw up.
- Never be ill on a workmorning. Always be ill at the weekendso that there is no chance of a lie in for your owners & vet bills are double - if they go through all that, they must love you right?
- Never thro up on the lino r outside. Wait & bring it inside for your owner to clean up, after all they have nothing better to do.
Is that better than anal glands? I did work experience at a vets & one time when he emptied them, they sprayed straight in his face! His comment as he washed his face? “I must remember to keep my mouth shut when I do that”
List of things you did not want to know
- Anal fluid tastes salty…
Fierra, I’ll be sending my cleaning bill to you. I just wish I didn’t have that Taco Salad for lunch.
I’m sorry, I just could not resist postingthat after yur comment. It’s not normally my favourite topic of conversation, although your sense of humour tends to get weirder if you work in the med or vet profession (one day it seemed all the animals that came in had to be put down. Vet said something about slaying them in the aisles & carried on…you can’t afford to get too involved. But next time, don’t have something with carrots…what do you mean - taco salad doesn’t have carrots?
I started off so nice in these boards & now my real warped personality is starting to kick in - who says that you can be whoever you want to be in cyberspace?
