Answer 1

TAKE HIM TO THE VET!!, you never ever ever give a puppy or any dog chicken bones!!! when they chew it some get very sharp and can hurt their organs when they swallow it. Just take him to the vet immediately.

Answer 2

Trust me, GO TO THE VET NOW! This is a life threatening thing. Chicken bones can splinter and perforate the stomach or bowels and she is obviously bleeding internally. The dog WILL die if you do not go to the vet immediately!!!!
Chicken bones are a huge no-no with dogs.

Edit: Forsaken, with internal bleeding, it IS flushed out of the gut and through the kidneys. It is a common side affect with internal bleeding to have blood in the urine. When the body reabsorbes the blood that is in the gut, it is flushed through the system and the urine will commonly be tinted red by the red blood cells being flushed out.

If the bones were RAW, then yes, it could be something else, but blood in the urine IS a common side affect of internal bleeding.

Its possible that he is just adjusting to a new life without his familiar pack. Giving him a bit more love and offering him some good treats. It's a bit hard for a pup to be put in a new situation but have patience and he'll come to as he is ready. To get him to eat try some special treats that he really enjoys. Since he is a pup it is important to keep him fed. Nutrition is a pup's priority. If it continues for a while and there isn't any improvement, consider a trip to the vet and see what they suggest. But if an appointment isn't in your interest talk to them over the phone for more suggestions. After talking with the family you got him from and you are able to see the full extent of his strange behavior you can make any choice with confidence. Congrats on your new beautiful new pack mate! Good Luck!!

I totally agree with Shana! Never, ever give, or let your dog get a hold of Chicken Bones, under any circumstances! Because of the fact that your dog is urinating blood,that tells me, that the Chicken Bones did splinter, and obviously caused a perforation in the bowel, stomach, or the intestines. I hope, by the time you get this, you will already be at the Vet with your dog. If not, you need to get off the computer, and get your dog to the vet NOW, or it will most definitely die, an excruciating, heartbreaking death! Don't let that happen, PLEASE!!! At 4 months old, puppies are at a very curious stage and they get into everything, and you really need to not only make sure you puppy proof your home and yard, but you also need to be very careful about what your dog eats, and gets into! Keep everything that is obviously dangerous, out of it's reach. Here is a great link, by a veterinarian, that explains what types of things, you need to keep away from your dog, and how to puppy proof your home and yard!

I really hope that your dog pulls through this crisis! Puppies need to be watched all the time when you are home, and crate trained when you are not home, in order to prevent them from, getting into something harmful to them! Good Luck! I hope everything works out for the best! You can never be too careful!!!

Answer 5

Take him to the vet. Considering that kidney function and bowel function are two completely different processes, I doubt him eating chicken bones has much to do with it. I feed raw chickens (whole chicken) and have never had an issue. I've never met a person feeding raw who has. It's true that COOKED chicken bones splinter and cause havoc, raw chicken bones are pretty flexible and are just fine under supervision.

add: Sorry Shanna I'm going on the assumption that the dog ate raw bones and was supervised to make sure they were chewed properly. Trying to be optimistic for once:D

Answer 6

contrary to previous answers, we feed our dog purely a raw meat diet, including chicken carcases with the bones in, she loves it, bones only become dangerous when they are cooked and they can then splinter, there has been a lot of research on this, more positive than negative. GO TO A VET it could be something else and they will find it.

Answer 7

You should never EVER allow a dog to eat chicken bones. They can get lodged in the throat or maybe in the intestines. Take your puppy to the vet ASAP! He needs some antibiotics and no one on here can help you get those.

Answer 8

You need to get that dog to the VET NOW and never feed a dog any kind of bones especially chicken bones they splinter and can cause serious problems

Answer 9

You really should take your pup to the vet. And, you didn't say whether the chicken bones were cooked or raw. If it was cooked chicken bones your pup may have perforated something internally. Good luck.

Answer 10

Get to the vet ASAP!!! You should never feed a dog chicken bones, they tend to splinter and become sharp. Your dog could be pierced somewhere internally.
