My dog just ate a large amount of raw bones. Could this be dangerous?

[]

Answer

Ingesting a large number of raw bones, especially weight-bearing bones, can be very dangerous for dogs. While some raw bones are marketed as safe, too many can cause gastrointestinal upset, constipation, or even more severe problems like blockages, perforations of the digestive tract, or fractured teeth. Keep a close watch on your dog for vomiting, diarrhea, straining to defecate, lethargy, or abdominal pain. If any of these symptoms develop, seek veterinary care immediately. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance, especially if symptoms are mild but persistent.
