Gastrointestinal obstruction and or perforation is possible and requires an immediate check up. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Monya may be able to pass the bones on his own though only time will tell. If this is going to result in an obstruction or dietary indiscretion, you may notice the signs in the next few days. These signs include inappetence, anorexia, vomiting and abdominal pain. If you notice these signs, have him evaluated by your veterinarian as this may represent either a gastrointestinal obstruction or even some degree of dietary indiscretion that would warrant further assessment. Treatment would be based on what is exactly affecting him. Good luck and have a great day!
