I tell my clients not to leave such toys with serious chewers alone. I have a few lying around but nobody cares here. ER vets are so expensive! sheila ________________________________ From: Kathy Partch <jokaysedona@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, January 26, 2010 8:14:17 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] WARNING "Buda Bone" rope I thought I would give a warning for those who didn't see this on the news this evening. A lady's shepherd almost died when a so called, "Buda Bone" (a flavored rope with two knots at each end/designed to clean the teeth) was not only chewed on like intended but ingested parts of it also (this was not a puppy). It got caught in the shepherds intestines & couldn't move. The shepherd had to have surgery that cost her owner $5,000. Thank heavens the dogs life was saved. They said anything that can become stringy like this rope is very dangerous to many dogs if not all.
