We were given the Kong puppy teething stick for our puppies by a friend, it was new but no packaging was with it but we were told that it was for the puppies to chew on. The puppies were kept in a kennel and also outside with in a 60'x100' barn for exercise and play. The puppies must have lost the teething stick at some point someplace as they were playing. Anyone who has had a litter of puppies knows how they tear around all over and hard it is to keep track of them. That was two year ago and somehow and somewhere our male dog got a hold of it without us knowing it and ate 1/2 of it in three pieces two large and one small. He passed two of them but one got stuck in his intestines. We didn't know what it was when he passed them. He became sick and we took him to the vet he felt that he had pass all the junk and had pancreatitis and tests showed this. After three days of no improvement we took him to a emergency vet clinic that has top facilities and with in 24 hours they had found a blockage and a hole in his intestine. They operate to correct the problem, he had complication and leakage and had two more operation before he had to be euthanized because no more could be done. The rubber these products are made of gets very sticky in a dog stomach and can stay there for a long period of time, when in the intestine they can get stuck and the action of the dogs intestine moving back and forth can cause a hole to develop and cause major problem. What Kong make's their products out of is a problem. Kong knows this, they make products that kill dogs and know it. This isn't the first case, please don't use their products. If you have more questions or have had this problem and want to contact me at ccc5959@hotmail.com please feel free to.
