The other night I decided to give my dog a raw meaty beef neck bone. He devoured and enjoyed it, but afterwards I noticed he was breathing fast and hyper-salivating. Can you give me any wisdom regarding this reaction? It lasted about 1-2 hours.
Full Question:
Cindy, my GSD has been on a raw diet since November (Bravo/Honest Kitchen) with great success, however, the other night I decided to give him a raw meaty beef neck bone. He devoured and enjoyed it, but afterwards I noticed he was breathing fast and hyper-salivating. Can you give me any wisdom regarding this reaction? It lasted about 1-2 hours.Thank you,
Diane
Cindy's Answer:
Anytime I see excessive salivation I check the mouth and teeth very carefully. It’s possible your dog had a fragment of bone wedged somewhere between his teeth or in his mouth.
It’s not common, but it does happen. Also look for unusual lip licking or rubbing his muzzle with paws or on the floor or furniture.
