Question

Dog ate 2 cooked chicken leg bones. What do I do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 3 years and 4 months old | 38 lbs

Usually these bones will be digested by the dog's stomach or be passed. I would recommend giving your dog a few pieces of whole wheat bread to possibly pad the bones so they do not scratch the stomach lining and monitor her for signs of GI upset including vomiting, not eating, lethargy, and abdominal pain (pain when touch belly, inability to rest/lay down, going down into a "prayer" position with front legs down and bottom up) and if these occur, seek veterinary care right away.
