Loading ...I think we grew up in a time where we believed giving dogs bones except splintering chicken bones was okay and that bone marrow was nutritional. But as time went on I learned there is much more risk than any benefit. These bones can get stuck anywhere from the upper palate to throat to the intestine and cause obstruction chocking internal bleeding on and on. One woman who never took her dog to the vet starved to death because one bone was lodged in upper part of his her mouth and she he couldn’t swallow. It be sign of obstruction in not being able to hold food down.
Another issue with giving them food we eat is not just not getting enough nutrition as they need protein and don’t need all the fat carbs that go with our diets.
Pancreatic inflmatiom can also occurs because their system is different and they can’t handle spices. These spices in our food can cause “pancreatitis.” Some of these spices can also be toxic to dogs.
Many don’t do well with gluten either.
Ipso had a good idea with the baby food but you can purée your own in a blender but “no spices” just specifically made for your dog.
I would feed baby birds thickened water and watered down baby food meat by a eye dropper till I could get them to a wildlife rescue to take over. Because they had to stay warm that was a 24/7 job with feedings and heating pad.
Cheaper to by good quality grain free dog food and blend it. Hope you can find a better vet.
