I had bought Annie plain hooves for the longest time and used them like Kongs (fill them up with treat for her to mess with in her crate). She never really showed interest in the hoof itself except for some periodic chewing.
Got smoked hooves a few weeks ago, I guess she's had a few around her (who knows what lurks in the corner of her crate?
), but the last few days she has really dug into them. They smell like burnt death, too, the whole kitchen takes on this bad jerky smell.
In any case...she's also had loose stools on and off the last few days. Watery. Has not lost control, but still way different from even a few days ago.
I know she's done some "baby chair scavenging" for crap my kids might throw off their plates that I initially miss on pick-up...and snagged some mac and cheese off the counter last night... :evil:...but:
1. Does the fact that a hoof is "smoked" change its composition for the worse, like a cooked bone?
2. Does the nutrional content of a hoof itself actually make an impact on diet? I guess I thought those were like fingernails and hair...pretty nutrition-less. Dead cells.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
