Snowball Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 My 8 month old goldie has just started eating some lamb necks. She regulary gets chicken carcass, but I wanted to get something bigger for her to start to chew more, she is a chewer No last week she vomited in the night, this was after having had some lamb necks in the daytime. This week no bones all week until today, she had 2 lamb neck pieces in the morning and then vomited at 4.00. I dont know if it is a conicidence or not? can bones make dogs vomit? She was at the vet today to check her anal glands re a earlier post about her smelling metallic and licking herself LOTS and chasing her tail LOTS. Vet said all appeared well, no temp, anal glands didnt look swollen, but he expressed them and the smell seemed to same when he brough her back Anyway, she could have eaten anything and everything , she is typcial goldie and we find all sorts of stuff she shouldnt eat in her mouth, but just wondering about the bones?

ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Perhaps she has an intolerance to lamb necks/ flaps. One of our dogs can't digest bones be they chicken wings/chicken frames, beef or lamb. He is a house dog and sleeps on my bed at night so have learnt the hard way not to feed him bones.

Miz J Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 They definitely can cause vomiting. I too have learned the hard way. If my dogs can get a chunk of bone off easily they will swallow it so thats why I had to stop any soft bones like brisket. They are better having things they have to chew like lanb flaps, turkey necks etc. They do get chicken necks often but I make sure they are largish. I have had the pleasure of the night time hurling on the bed and even on my OH head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra777 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Dogs' stomachs are designed to get rid of things they can't digest, so if they chew off pieces of bone harder than their stomach acid cam handle they'll throw it up.

VJB Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 My dog cannot tolerate bones at all. She always ends up vomiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Give your dog either whole necks, or something like turkey necks.. so she cannot swallow small sharp bits as easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
