The bones of some poultry are relatively brittle, and the middle is often hollow, which is easy to be crushed, and after crushing, it will turn into many small bone spurs; these bone spurs can easily scratch the esophagus and gastrointestinal mucosa after being swallowed by the dog, causing the dog to vomit, diarrhea, mixed blood in the stool, and abdominal pain.
3. Broken teeth
Because the dog itself likes to bite things, if the owner often eats bones for the dog, it will strengthen the dog’s desire to bite and cause the dog to eat it often. The bones wear away the enamel, and when the teeth lose their protection, they will become loose, causing gum damage and, finally, mouth ulcers or even broken teeth.
