My lab ate a whole chuckar!

[fishermanjoe]

Yes he ate it on the drive home in the back of my truck. Do i need do be worried? Have you had this happen to you? Will the bones/feet/beak tear his insides up? Any info would be nice. I wont be able to afford a big vet bill so if he is in the clear i will skip a visit to the doctor.

Thanks for your input.

How long ago was it? A couple tbs salt..he will puke it right up! But, has to be quickly after.

about 4 hours ago

my friend had a lab eat 5 quail his dog did not have any prob. the salt trick is probably to late after 4hrs

I heard that bird bones are really dangerous when they are cooked, so your dog should be ok.  Coyotes eat birds all the time.


My old lab ate a bunch of quail and an entire duck once and he was fine.  Pooped out pretty feathers for awhile, though.

My Blue Tick ate 1/2 of a deers rear upper leg bone knuckle and all.  Crunch crunch crunch.  This was about 4 weeks ago.  He's still alive and hasn't shown any signs of problems.  What can I say I call him my little retard.

Ok that makes me feel a lot better!!!!!! I was a little worried there for a sec.

Yeah it will be a joy watching him try to pass that one. I hope it teaches him a lesson.

Just keep an eye on him for the next couple of days just in case, but he should be ok.

[Schmalzfam]

He should be ok..remember the salt for next time.

   You would have to know him to really appreciate that comment.  He takes retard to a whole new level.  

He gets so excited when I say "do you need to go pee outside" he tears through the house and head butts the door because he can't stop on a hard wood floor.  If I am not at the door quick enough he will come back.  Once he sees me he goes tearing off to the back door again and head butts it again.  You would think at roughly 7yo he would have out grown that.  

No blanket is safe around him.  I have to keep the linen closet door and my bedroom door shut.  If he isn't comfy enough laying on the floor he will pull the comforters off my bed drag it through the house and put it where he wants it and go to sleep on it.  If he doesn't pull the blanket off the couch first.  

He is not a stupid dog by any means but it is almost one of those things where he is so smart me is stupid.  He is also very stuborn!  

 

 

He is a sneeky little sucker to.

He or she will have a clean poop for a while with all those feathers dusting things off.

BTW I never leave anything with in reach of any dog that is remotely yummy. This list gets real big in the case of labs.

There are plenty of people who feed raw diets to dogs and their dogs eat whole chickens feathers beaks feet and whole bunnies, the dogs live long lives and are perfectly healthy I wouldn't worry at all as long as bones are not cooked they do not typically cause any problems dogs after all are simply wolves

[Happy Gilmore]

watch his turds- any blood go to the vet. Probably should be just fine. When this happens, hold off on feeding them, skip a meal and watch their poop. Do this anytime your dog eats something questionable. If they eat something, get an obstruction and you feed them a bunch more it can cause the problem to compound and go downhill faster.

Bird bones are dangerous to dogs when cooked. Raw, not so dangerous.
