I had to come back to your thread to say
Thank You. Missy just had troubles with a Bullystick. If it hadn't been for reading this thread yesterday, I may not have been paying as close attention to her while she was chewing it. She managed to chew a hunk of the Bullystick off and it got stuck in her throat. I was able to retrieve it because some of it was still sticking out of her throat and was stuck twisted around her back teeth. I had to pry the Bullystick out of her teeth (not an easy task, those things get sticky) and then pull it out of her throat. It was so scarey! I think that I'm only going to give her hooves from now on. She enjoys chewing them as much as Bullysticks and she's never managed to actually chew a piece off of the hoof. I think they will be less risky. Again, thank you so much for posting your warning on chew sticks. I am so glad that Missy was right beside me chewing her Bullystick. Who knows what could have happened if she were chewing it unsupervised.
I really thought that Bullysticks were safe. So many of our furbabies enjoy them.
