Hi all,
Just wanted to share a scare I had last night. I hadn't read all the posts about the greenies before and wish I had.
We went on a hike yesterday for Father's Day with the dogs and when we got home I fed them and gave both a petite greenie for dessert. Jorja needed a bath from running thru streams and nasty stuff during the hike so I asked my husband to give her a bath. She had just started chewing on her greenie when he went to grab her. Well, she quickly swallowed it. I was terrified. She acted fine and everything but I quickly came on here searching for any information that would help. I ran to the store and bought a can of 100% pumpkin and she loved that. She pooped around 2 am just fine and we didn't feed her anything this morning.
Around 1 pm today she started hacking. I ran her outside and she threw up the greenie. It hadn't digested one bit. I could have put it back in the bag as brand new the way that thing looked. So after about 17 hours of sitting in her stomach it didn't digest at all.
So the lesson I learned is not to give these things to my dog any more. Especially, to Jorja. I was so thankful when she threw it up but I was preparing myself for a very tragic ending.
On a more happy note, the dogs had a blast on the hike. I'll have to post pictures later. They frolicked in the snow.
