Rawhide bone!! 😡

Ashton1390 · Jul 17, 2018

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site I recently got a frenchie puppy named Lilly. She is adorable and I love her dearly.

I have bought her some new treat as she 16 weeks and I think hr big teeth are starting to come through so I got her rawhide bones, they have tough outer bit and soft in middle. She has had it two days and a big peoce of the bone cane of so I went to get it off her and she swallowed it!! So now I’m terrified she going to die!!

I cried twice she only swallowed it half an hour ago but I don’t know what I should do, she hasn’t got it stuck in her throat she been running around playing and is now having a sleep.
I took the rest off her as she not having them ever again!! Should I take her vets for X-ray or will it breakdown in her tummy?
I been on google and it says it can get stuck and she might need surgery, and thathey bad for her my vet actually recommended them! So I hanged my vets now. Please some advice?
Thank you
Ashton and Lilly

Call the vet for advice and hold on to a sample of the bone in case the vet wants to see it.

Call the vet. And never, never, never give any dogs rawhide. They are the worst and shouldn’t even be sold anymore.

Yes, a trip to the vet is needed. Rawhides can cause blockages; it is important to get her in right away.

I would have her checked by a vet... x-rays for sure. make sure that it is not stuck. In the meantime, throw the rest of them in the trash, rawhides are bad in so many ways.

get raw marrow bones, Nylabone ha a set of 'baby' keys, get those and put in the freezer for a few minutes till nice and cold, they will help with the teething. Keep us posted
