Sunshine dug out an old rawhide form last Xmas! She chews constantly but after she was done this had some blood on it. No cuts on her gums or tongue that I could find. I remember growing up the dogs would bleed while chewing rawhides all the time. Is it a rawhide thing? The girls don't really like them, which is why these last for years around here! Does anyone else's dogs bleed while chewing these? Does anyone get worried or is it shrugged off?
I've been giving Phil the cow joints (or whatever they are) because when I brought him home he wouldn't touch the rawhide that GEGR gave me with a 10 foot pole. I had given up.
ReplyDeleteI took him over to a friend's house Labor Day weekend and they have a rawhide for another puppy friend and he wanted to bring it home with us! It definitely had blood on it from his chewing, but I just blamed it on Phil's awful teeth. My dalmatian used to also bleed sometimes. As long as he wasn't acting hurt or didn't eat later, I wasn't too concerned.
The more chewing the better for the teeth! Rawhides always taste better when they are used LOL
ReplyDeleteyes a lot of time they will bleed on anything they chew on for a while. Do not worry it is normal.
