OhMarley Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Marley always loved munching on raw bones however since his stomach problems we can no longer give him chicken or beef, what other bones would be appropriate for him? He eats raw kangaroo and i was told to get him roo tail but so far the ones ive found look way to large for his silly mouth! What other types of bones would be ok for a sensitive stomach?

puggy_puggy Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Lamb bones. I usally feed either flaps of ribs or the backs. My pugs do fine with roo tails, usually cut in half or quaters as they are quite long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to give my guys roo tails but the ones I get for the ACD are waaaaayyy too big for them. Edited June 30, 2008 by pomquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Turkey. :cool: Turkey necks can be cut up into good size portions (though they're mostly bone). You can also get turkey wings and drumsticks. Lamb shanks, necks and off cuts are good too. Even you give a big bone meal one day, you can even it up by a smaller more meaty meal the next day (e.g. mince).

OhMarley Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 hadn't thought about turkey, good idea! I was wondering the same thing.. is it hard to cut up roo tail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) With roo tails, you do better if you find the joints..and cut there. Have a look at the end of the tail.. then look for a similar spinal 'tip' along the tail.. .. bend the tail.. see where the 'bend is.. cut thru the sinews, and then you can see the joint easier. It cuts quite easy when you are at the space between vertebrae.. just cartilage there :cool: Edited June 30, 2008 by persephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CavsRcute Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I give my Cavalier 1/4 lamb necks. She cannot tolerate chicken and I tried turkey but she ended up with a scraped bowel which require meds etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum86 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I have a Lhasa Apso and she loves lamb necks. They r very meaty with little fat and the shape of the bone really encourages them to chew to give their teeth a thorough clean. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie-boy Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Lambs necks. Small enough to fit in their mouths and the bone is soft enough that they can crunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) OhMarley, I was feeding Kyzer some Goat bones Ptolomy gave me, they were mainly ribs, a good size (he is small and will bury anything too large) and he loved them. There is a supplier in Midvale (they also sell dried goat for treats), and I think they are available through South St Pet Supplies, but not certain on that. Let me know if you want the contact details. EFG Edited July 2, 2008 by amypie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
