Is Lola the rottie or the little dog in your pic? My dogs wolf chicken wings down happily and are fine. Maybe she was hungry?

Glad it was the rottie not the chi that ate 3 drumsticks in 15 mins ~ I'd be very worried if it was the chi

Did they come back up? My labs easily demolish 3 small meaty lamb bones same size as drumsticks in 15 mins, so it doesn't sound that bad for Lola. And yes, vomit that was only recently their dinner but comes back up quickly, is usually eaten again (not always by the dog that threw it up unfortunately!). Wilma ate her dinner too quickly a few nights ago, walked over to her bed, threw it all up, then sat & guarded it for 10 mins before she ate it all up again.

I have heard of dogs having problems with large build ups of bone in the digestive system so if she's making a habit of wolfing down big chunks of bone, I'd help her re-learn to chew them by holding one end of the drumstick so she has to bite down on them. Kiki was a bit of a rushed eater on kibble so I used to hold her chicken legs, wings, etc. when I first started feeding raw and it didn't take her long to get the hang of chewing them up

Tupac is a gannet with food hence why i partly feed him raw.. i follow the rmb diet for that reason...and started out on bigger cuts of meat so he had to take his time
