| I'll try this here.. I posted this in the Sick & Injured/Emergencies Talk board but no one replied. I'm really curious as to what you guys think so I'm posting it here. ____ Too soon for bully sticks? Franklin has been driving me NUTS! And to think I missed him so much... Just kidding. But really... he's teething so he's been chewing on EVERYTHING. I haven't had a change to replenish his toy supply yet. I plan on doing that sometime today or tomorrow. But... even his old toys never satisfied his teething needs like a good ol' bully stick. I have some ordered that should be come in today. Is it too soon to give them to him? I don't want to upset his stomach but I don't know what else to give him. He's been eating and drinking normally and having fairly normal BM... What do you think?

| Well, I don't know much but I think the bully sticks would be fine to help with teething and to keep him busy.

| I have been too busy to be on much lately, but I am so happy that little Franklin is recovering! Parvo is terrifying ... we had a rescued Golden once that survived it. His recovery at home after the hospital was painfully slow ... I had to run home from the office 4-5 times a day to prepare a little "bland" food and feed him. He recovered beautifully! When Toto was teething I always had lots of the little flavored Nylabones around and she was happy to chew on those. I don't know about bully sticks ... we have never used them. We don't give Toto anything except dental toys since she got choked a year or so ago. Please keep us updated on how Franklin is doing.

| So glad your little guy is better. You might want to try ordering some that do not have the smoky flavor added. I think that upsets many tummies. There are a few here who sell them.......

| [QUOTE=donnarod;1728067]I ordered Tricksie one, she is 17 months old, she chewed on it for 10 min. I took it away, testing it. She got a bacterial infection. I would send them back. Someone on YT said they were made from a Bull's penis.[/QUOTE Franklin's chewed on them for a while with no problems. I was just wondering if his intestinal tract was healed enough to digest them.

| I dont know too much about Parvo but since he was throwing up a lot just last week i would keep bully sticks away for a week or so.... they have to be preserved and very high in protein.... keep him on something gentle till his tummy is all better. You can try to get those plastic bones that come in dif flavors... i had them for Chewy when she was teething. |
