He is too small to swallow a big pork neck bone, he will chew on it for an hour, but I have not found any other things I can feed him so he will eat slower. He has not been feeling so good today, after he ate the whole half of chicken breast. Hope he get ok. Thanks for all the replies.
I love my Willie, he is my darlin baby.

I would give him a
whole breast but take it away after he's worked on it for awhile. Don't let it get small enough for him to gulp it all down. He won't feel well if he overeats.... Probably a 1/4 of the breast would be adequate for him. (i'm just basing that on my yorkie who is 5.5 lbs so if he's a lot bigger, that might not be accurate) To take it away, if you don't trust his reaction use a broom or something long that you can take it away and not worry that he might bite you by accident in his eagerness to finish. You could even try a small chicken and let him work on that a little bit every day over the span of a few days. Put it back in the fridge after 15 minutes or so....
