Case Study: Radder’s Bones

It only takes a minute for a mischievous pup to get into trouble. That’s what this 3-year-old Chiweenie did when he got into a trash bag that had lots of smelly food in it, including chicken bones. When animals eat cooked chicken bones, they can splinter and poke holes in the fragile lining of the intestinal track. That is why Radder needed to be brought into the clinic and made to vomit right away, before those bones made their way out of the stomach. The staff was astounded at how much food this 13-pound pooch was able to consume in just 20 minutes!
