I understand that due to the rapid weight gain of chickens because of the growth hormones used they are slaughtered younger, but with good weight. Because they are young the bones are not yet densely calcified. As the chicken ages the bones become more dense and seal porosity. In years gone by they aged longer before slaughter and had adequate bone density to seal in the marrow in the bones, now they are not old enough to have the bone density to seal marrow. Through the cooking the marrow leaches out into the meat and causes the dark color.

Your dog ate chicken bones and has blood in her poop?

You should try to keep chicken bones out of a dogs reach and you should not give them the bones to chew on. Chicken bones easily splinter. If the dogs swallow these splinters they can cause serious internal damage. I would take you animal to the vet and have he checked out. They will probably take an x-ray, and if they see the chicken bone lodged anywhere they will have to perform surgery to get it out.


Can pugs eat chicken bones?

Cooked chicken bones become brittle and should not be fed to dogs or cats. Chances are nothing will happen but the cooked bones can splinter and get caught in the pets throat or digestive tract. Cats and dogs like your Pug do fine eating raw birds as the bones are not as sharp and do not splinter. Keep in mind that feline and canine diet in the wild is often avian/rodent heavy.
