Oh poor baby. These guys really need to chew. I would get a natural
bone, one to fit his mouth so he can chew not only for dental purposes
but for the mere enjoyment of chewing. You can find these natural bones
at a pet store. Most are large but I have found some small. That's all
Buddy is allowed to chew on. He also was hospitalized from a Nylabone
for four days. THey have a hole running the lengh of the bone and you
can put peanut butter, cheese, yogart or other in it for his enjoyment.
Hope all works out for him.
