My dog ate a whole box of Milk-Bone dental chews. What should I do?

Question

my 80 lb lab ate a box (12 or 14) large milk bone dental chews. I just got home and was out for 3 hours. Wondering what I should do for him? He appears to be ok at the moment but not sure if I should be worried. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 7 years old | 80 lbs

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Percy causing trouble while you were out. He was hungry!! Honestly I don't think they he is going to have any serious problems from this. I would be careful about how much water he consumes tonight. He can have a few sips but don't let him gulp down a whole bowl of water after eating all of those bones. As long as he seems comfortable, can lay down, is not dry heaving, does not have a distended abdomen that is rigid, isn't crying/moaning in pain, I think you are ok tonight. I would get up every few hours and check on him if you can. If any of the signs above develop, I would get him evaluated ASAP by a vet. Bloat is possible especially if he drank a really large quantity of water following his gorging out on the bones. Good luck with Percy. If he develops diarrhea and/or vomiting he would have to be evaluated and treated accordingly also.
