My small dog ate a big edible Nylabone too fast. Is he okay?

Question

Hi there. My 11 pound Chiuhua/Mini Pin mix dog just managed to eat about 90 percent of an edible nylabone in about 10 minutes. On the back it says up to one a day for a dog of 30 pounds, so I'm not sure if I should be concerned. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 11 lbs

Wow, Ernie at a lot in one day! This could give him an upset stomach from eating this much, so I would monitor him for now. Should he have an upset stomach and starts vomiting or having diarrhea, withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then add back in his normal diet. Next time, I would give him one that is more for his size, and try not to let him eat it so quickly. Easier said than done I imagine :-)
