What do you do if your dog eats cooked bones?

4/26/2012

Yesterday was quite a day, and after the burnt pork chops cooled off on their perch outside (in a pan...with a lid) Martin ate them. The supplies I gathered: Bread (from a neighbor...we were out), KY Lube (from my vet kit...yes it had thermometers shoved in it previously), Fleet baby enemas (not recommended... I was in experiment mode). I made sandwiches with the material - Ky/bread x 3 & enema/bread x 1. We'll see how it goes. I remember helping my boss with an abdominal surgery when I was in high school, and I hope Martin can avoid it. The dog had eaten a COOKED (raw is generally ok) bone & it perforated a section of intestine. YIKES!!!
