Isn't that the point of a forum like this? :) I have no intention of wasting my doctor's time to go and ...

Re: Antibiotics again...advice please

I try to avoid doctors lol and didn't think it was the sort of question I could pose! "I'm intending to stock up on antibiotics to add to my prepper's stock of emergency medicines and I'm going to buy them from an online pharmacy without a prescription...what would you suggest doc?" ;)

No, not boned. Did a lot of research and the consensus of opinion is that raw chicken bones are perfectly safe to feed to dogs.

Re: Dogs.

As an aside...I've started introducing raw chicken (wings) into our dog's diet a) on the basis it's supposed to be good for them and b) with the thinking that it's a cheap and abundant food source...he was a bit fazed by the chicken wing sitting in his bowl at first (prefers Dad's beer can chicken I...
