Woman says dog bone caused her dog injuries

A Fayette County, Ga. pet owner awaited X-ray results Friday after her dog was injured by a store-bought pork bone.
 
"We gave it to her, you know, thinking it's a good solid bone that she's going to be able to chew; it's going to last," Kelley Feigen told WSB-TV consumer investigator Jim Strickland.
 
Feigen says her dog Shay ingested her first and last pork bone Tuesday night.

"Within 15 minutes I looked and there were pieces that looked like knives," she said. "She was vomiting up strands of blood and pieces of bone." 
 
Lieutenant Hambone is from Merrick Petcare of Amarillo, Texas. 
 
In small print, the label reads: "For the safety of your pets, observation is recommended when giving your dogs bones or chews."
 
An FDA warning posted in April 2010 clearly states:  "Bones are unsafe for your dog."
 
"I think they're worried about selling a product and not the concern of my dog," said Feigen.
 
A dog in California died two months ago hours after eating a different brand of ham bone.  
 
Merrick told Strickland the company uses a bone that is less likely to splinter than other brands. 
 
A spokeswoman claimed the company received less than two splintering complaints per 100,000 bones sold.
 
The company is asking Feigen to report the incident.
 
His FDA contact told Strickland that despite the warning, the bones do not need government approval.
