there was diahrea (s) and vomit both with blood in it. I called the em vet,
2:00am. Took him right in. He was there for four days (2,200.00) and after
much testing, encluding x'rays, upper and lower GI series the best they
could tell was there was small fragments of something that cut into the
lining of his small intestine, causing the bleeding. Poor baby continued to vomit and have diahrea for three days. He was so sick. When I told them that
he chewed nylabones they could only assume that is what caused the
problem. My vet said never to give them to him again. He would never
give those or rawhide to his dogs. Both are very dangerous.
I learned after the fact, if you read on the back of the nylabone label
it tells you right there that "SMALL FRAGMENTS THE SIZE OF A GRAIN
OF RICE CAN COME OFF BUT THESE FRAGMENTS SHOULD PASS!
When they don't this is what happens. They don't tell you that!
Please don't use these chew bones. They are very dangerous.

Was this the rubber nylabone? Or the healthy edibles?
