Why does my dog have redness on her jaw after chewing a bone?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 30 lbs

My girl has some redness on her jaw . I just noticed it yesterday. The only thing I can think of is I gave her a lamb bone the other day. It's red on the other side too but not as bad. What could it be and what can I do?

What type of water bowls are you using? if you are not using stainless steal then this could be the reason. it could also be an infection or an allergy, if this is the case this will require a vet visit to get treated.
