If the screw is very small and your dog is pretty big (which I assume he is since he's a German Shepherd) it probably will not be a problem. Keep an eye on Bruno for any vomiting or diarrhea. If you notice these symptoms it would be wise to take him to a vet to have an x-ray performed and make sure the gut is ok. If he's acting normal and eating like normal just keep an eye on his poops to see if he passes the screw.
