I bought the rawhide bones (small ones) from CVS. Is that what you are talking about? Rawhide chew sticks? They should not be able to eat them in one sitting. It should take many weeks to consume a rawhide - anything...
During the time they are chewing on it a whiteish looking weird flimsy part of teh bone (gum-like but hard to cut?) should show up after they ahve been chewing on it for a while. As far as I know it's safe for them to swallow (in tiny bits).
I'd be more concerned if part of the bone knot came off and they were chewing that on its own.
But the rawhide bones from CVS are great! Bentley chews and chews and it actually helped his baby teeth come in faster. It's been several weeks and I haven't had to give him another one. He's still working on the one end. Whole bone is still there. LOL
Good luck.
