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!
