Hi all,
Haydn is teething, seems very uncomfortable. I got some ideas about how to make him more comfortable but would like to make sure it's safe.
Make some chamomile tea, drown his usual meal (meat+bones, minced with a cleaver) in it and make a rounded block of ice out of it. Organs and yogurt are served chilled with fresh E+Sal Oil.
Chamomile sounds safe but what else could I use? Rosemary? Sage? Lavender? Also got some chewed-up knuckle bones and bully sticks I could make a stock of and use that for the ice.

Clove? I'll read on it.
Sock - no way, he'll chew and swallow it. Soak something digestible in stock - good idea. Some kind of flexible digestible net or fabric... can't think of anything other than fat netting.
I got 1lb of dehydrated lamb lung today. Could it be re-hydrated and frozen?
Chicken or a broth ice cubes. Chamomile herbal tea and/or made to ice cubes. Do you have a rope toy, you can wet those and then stick in freezer for gnawing.
I imagine any canvas toy could be soaked in water or broth and frozen though, but the chilly bone works well and is pretty sturdy.
Kongs with frozen food in them are good
I also use frozen carrots for mine to teeth on, and plain ole ice cubes.
Chamomile sounds like a good idea, Lavender doesn't taste very good Calendula is also really good for swelling you could make a tea or broth out of that and the chamomile.

I have some small heavy duty tight weave towels that I wet, ring out & roll up & freeze & then give to pups when teething. You need to keep an eye on them so that you can take it away before the pup starts to chew on it when it is thawed out.
I have also given frozen large carrots to very young pups. Ones too big for them to possibly chew threw.

Thanks everybody for the help!
Gave him ice cubes, chamomile ice cubes, will be making chicken stock today, also into ice cubes
Can't give him rope or towels - he chews off bits right away.
Today his favorite chew seems to be a bully stick. 3' long so that he does not end up swallowing the end. The heat is not helping at all I think his voice is changing.

Since he's on a raw diet, how about freezing his dinner (or parts of it) and giving it to him to gnaw on? A frozen chicken quarter or frozen hunk of beef brisket could be both food and pacifier.

Since he seems to be a gulper I would have to be careful about it.
I usually mince his meals with a cleaver. I am playing around with freezing it (added some crushed ice to maximize the volume and poured some chicken stock over it, worked well).
Beef brisket is something like $4-$6 per lb here, I'll freeze some strips of chuck roast
