    • some dogs cannot eat bones well, especially if they are on a highly commercial diet of kibble or cans.Large thick bones like leg bones should be avoided. Try something lick chicken necks, wings, carcasses, turkey necks, etc but not for a few months! Your dogs intestines need to heal before trying bones again. Edible bones that are soft and RAW are best but be very careful if your dog has had this reaction to them.

    • Old bones or bones that have been frozen or cooked will splinter. Very fresh raw bones are safer. You don't have to give bones to your dog at all. Definitely don't give her any until she is all well again. Fresh, raw turkey or chicken necks are beloved by most dogs.
