Takes me back to a childhood trama. My dog Charlie choked on a chicken bone. I thought my dad was trying to help him, but he was actually putting him out of his misery.
I hope you find a better solution. 45 years later and I’m still tramatized.

Feed your dog a meal of dry dog food or a moderate amount of bread. These act as bulky “fillers” and form a protective barrier between the sharp edges of the cooked bone and the lining of the intestine. In most cases, the bones will be pooped out in a day or two.

@Judi I see…
I think @syz ‘s option is a bit more what I’m looking for, luckily due to the fact that they didn’t actually choke.. thank heaven.
@syz ‘at’s what I usualy do.. good to know it’s a good method… cheers,you.
