Most small bones will be softened during digestion in the stomach. They can usually pass without an issue, however fatty or salty meats can irritate the intestinal tract causing problems like pancreatitis. I would monitor Nana for signs of vomiting,diarrhea or abdominal pain and have her seen by your veterinarian if noted.
