I was not talking about the raw diets..know nothing about them

..I was talking about chicken bones... I had a Yorkie get in the trash and eat a chicken leg bone, the bone splintered and a sliver of bone got between the gum and tooth...I noticed the dog was pawing at her mouth, but I saw nothing..vet had to put her under and remove the bone shard..
Had another get into a trash bag waiting to go tot he curb...and choked on a joint knuckle..that time I was able to pull it out of her throat with a clamp..
I have never had any luck with my dogs and chicken bones, cooked or raw..so they are off limits.
