Can a dog’s bone stuck in its teeth heal on its own?

A bone stuck in a dog’s teeth may heal on its own, but first remove the bone and rinse the wound with saline. If it bleeds heavily, press to stop it, then use a pet oral antibacterial spray daily to prevent infection.

Generally avoid giving bones, especially chicken and duck, which are brittle and can cut the mouth and gut when crushed, causing inflammation. Small hard bones can also pile up in the gut and block it, sometimes causing megacolon needing surgery.
