Antlers can cause discomfort to your pets by leading to bleeding from your pet’s gums due to the hard surface. Though it is always serious, being cautious can be very helpful. However, the most serious issue that is often observed is generally internal. During usage by your pet, if the antlers break or the splinters get lodged in your pet’s throat, mouth, or intestines, it can lead to blockages. Such blockages can be dangerous and in certain cases depending upon the severity of the blockage may require the immediate attention of a veterinarian or surgery to remove the same.
