This is in response to the anonymous post regarding chicken "nicks", and what to do about your ferrets getting them stuck in their mouth. First, I assume you mean chicken "necks". Secondly, my vet once told me, a long time ago, NEVER NEVER NEVER give your dog bones. Why? Because they can sliver and possibly puncture the dogs intestines. Learning this made me decide to NEVER give bones, of any kind, to any of my animals. Anonymous, this is just my opinion, but if you are having problems with bones getting stuck in their mouths, I think that it might be safe to assume that it might just be a matter of time before it gets stuck in the throat, or possibly the intestines. Again, my opinion, but I would say NO more bones. [Posted in FML issue 3689]
