I think maybe the problem is the size of the dogs vs. the strength of
the greenies. No, they don't dissolve...and if the dog bites off chunks
of the large size greenies, I can see them causing a blockage.
While my furkids do get them from time to time, and would, as I said,
eat them all day long if I let them, they are considered a rare treat
around here and there isn't a dog on the place who has ever had them two
days in a row, or even every other day. I do know people who have
given them on a daily basis to dogs who needed to have their teeth
cleaned, and at least two were saved from that by the greenies, which
did clean their teeth beautifully.
Having said that...if there's a blockage, probably the only way to
get rid of it is surgery.......if the vets don't want to do that I
haven't a clue how to resolve a blockage.
