Dog just ate a bit of rabbit carcass. Problem?

[HaplessBoyLard]

Was just out walking Archie, our King Charles Cavalier, and he found a rabbit carcass.

Its guts were mostly gone, but other than that it was largely intact and didn't look that old.

I managed to get most of it away from him, but he managed to keep hold of a leg which he crunched up and swallowed.

Will he be OK? I'll admit I know nothing about raw feeding etc, and to my knowledge he's never actually eaten similar. It's not what he's eaten so much as the bones. My missus' sister's dog died after getting something stuck in its gut.

Apologies if I'm over reacting, but she'll have my guts for garters if something happens to him 😂

I'm sure all will be fine, it's cooked bones you have to worry about as they are dry and splinter, our three occasionally eat uncooked chicken wings and have no issues.

Pretty sure thats how wolves etc get by in the wild.

So, no I wouldnt worry too much.

Thanks chaps.

I'm aware I'm being ridiculous. He's only a small dog, so was worried about his tiny intestines getting a bone lodged down there.

If it makes him ill it's his own fault!

No problem with you showing concern.

Mine seems to be attracted to dead things, you will know in the morning

Ours found a stripped out deer carcass while out walking yesterday. They werent too interested in eating anything (wasnt much left apart from skeleton), but typically, did want to roll on it....

Mine regularly catches and eats whole hares... head, legs, guts, fur, the lot.
Won't let me get near enough to take it off him. Never causes any problems.

Mine catches rabbits and eats the lot except the tail. Strange dog I know. He once stole a rabbit off a buzzard that had it caught and pinned to the ground. There were two guys watching the buzzard and were amazed until this mad dog came along and stole its tea. They looked at me as if to say WTF. Hehe. I just shrugged as there was no way I was getting near the rabbit until it was eating.
