I need you guys again! *frustrated sigh*
Some of you may remember the drama that ensued after Remi swallowed a foot long bully stick (you can read about that here: http://www.englishbulldognews.com/f...448-dont-use-bully-sticks-ever-seriously.html) Since then, we've been on the prowl to find toys that will hold Remi's attention span for more than 10 minutes. He absolutely loved the marrow bones, but turns out he's allergic to beef as well as chicken. We've been getting him some other bones for dental health, that have some longevity to his attention span. So far he loves the N-Bone pearly whites and N-Bone Quado bone. (He pretty much ignores all nylabones and we haven't found any antlers yet.)
Here is the issue: We're discovering that he's attacking these new bones with such gusto that it's cutting his mouth and gums. It's making a bit of a mess on the bone, and smears onto the blanket. It's not an overwhelming amount of blood, but obviously enough to bring concern. If he bites a pillow, for example, it will leave some blood behind. He doesn't seem to be in pain, but this is coming from the dog that thought it was okay to swallow a foot long bully penis. He's 5 months old at this point, so his teeth are still coming in. Is this normal? Should I limit his use? Never give them back?
Dare I actually get him antlers?? I feel like he would impale himself at this point. LOL...
