Wow, I am so sorry to hear that. That is terrible news. Yes, chicken bones (any bones really) can be dangerous to feed. Not only can they cause death but they can also get life-threatening bacterial infections from bones. Another issue with feeding bones is that they can break their teeth. I suggest that if you get more pets in the future you avoid feeding any types of bones. It is not really a necessary part of their diet. I am not sure exactly what your question was so if you have a specific question you are welcome to post again.
