Deer bones & Dogs.

[Ratel]

My teckel always has a lower Fallow leg bone to suck on. She strips the fur and eats the hooves and sinews. We chuck them out after three days (stink,) but have a freezer full of new ones.

I let mine the leg bones of boned out haunches. But under strict supervision. I let her take off the meat and sinews attached - my butchery does leave a few morsels. She will grind the ball joints a bit, but once the bone is basically clean I break it in half and the scoop out the marrow. Bones then go into stock pot with water and old carrots to make a gravy for her Border Crunch.

18 years ago my 3year old lab bitch ate a fresh roe leg bone. Within 2 hours she was in obvious distress and by 3 hours wasp waisted and at the vets. Operated on at 6hours and the ball joint with small jagged 1cm shard attached found lodged and utterly blocking bowel. Good recovery. Expensive

Since then it’s feet only

My dogs that are also gun dogs eat everything we don’t off every carcass no bother yet touch wood even the wife’s Frenchie tucks in.

Never any problems with raw deer bones with my dogs. We have a few stripped ones in odd corners of the house

For many years I regularly fed sheep heads from the abattoir to all the dogs ( terriers, labs, spaniels and German shepherds)in my kennels. Used to pay £3 for ten, all that was left was the lower jaws, never had any problems just wormed them regularly. I never tried it but would there be any reason not to feed deer heads to dogs?

A couple of Roe Buck legs were the main attraction for two of my K9's yesterday.
