There is nothing you can give her to get it out, usually surgery is indicated to have the bone removed. if fore some reason this isn't possible you need to hope that the bone will actually remain in the stomach because if it will move to the intestines it's likely to cause a blockage which will require emergency surgery. if the bone stays in the stomach and she isn't vomiting, you need to feed her more often small quantities of food, it can take 1-2 weeks until the bone gets digested. if she is vomiting she will need anti sickness medication from the vet.
