Unfortunately, if Minnie did eat a really huge bone, there is nothing you can do for her at home. It is not recommend to induce vomiting in this situation, as the bone can get stuck in the esophagus on the way up or it could cause significant trauma to the GI tract. The best thing would be to have her seen by a vet right away for x-rays to confirm she did eat a really huge bone. If she did, the vet may be able to use an endoscope to safely remove the bone or may have to go in surgically to remove it if the bone is quite large. Otherwise, all you can do is monitor her. I'm concerned that a very large bone will not pass, and it can cause an obstruction and/or perforation of her GI tract. If you see any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, lethargy, constipation, blood in the feces, or blood in the vomit, then Minnie has to see a vet immediately. These signs signify an obstruction and/or perforation of the GI tract, and that is a medical emergency. Should that happen, she will need surgery to remove the bone and repair the intestines. I would rush Minnie into a vet now.
