why do their gums bleed?

eclairs mom · 01-29-2012, 03:16 PM

I give my guys a rawhide knot every Sunday, Eclair, always has. Blood on hers as she chewes. She has very healthy teeth, white and no tartar build up. Vet always tells me her teeth are in excellent shape. The other 3 amigos have no residue that you see.

Why does shee bleed nd the other not?? Is this comon? She chews hers in1/2 time of ethel an is even faster than Buddy our goldie!

Sppoks me somedays!

I think you answered your own question. I can't let Lightning have things like that because he obsessively chews on them until his gums bleed.

Both Jake & Abby love gnawing on a rawhide... but the minute I see "pink" it gets put up until next weekend. Of course, I have to lure them away with a cookie.

We give our pups rawhide chips and they get devoured. No bleeding gums though. Seems to be a common problem though. Perhaps you could take it away when it starts bleeding and give it back the next day.
