I would watch for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy and inappetence. If any of these occur I recommend taking Indie to a veterinarian. She could develop pancreatitis from this or just a bad gastrointestinal upset. If she ate any of the bone from the wings they typically dissolve in the stomach but sometimes can cause more harm. I hope Indie does well and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She could develop signs of dietary indiscretion which can happen from eating something that does not sit well in the stomach. Clinical symptoms that can occur include inappetence, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Sometimes this resolves on its own. However, sometimes this does require some form of therapy which is mostly supportive in nature. If she develops any vomiting, diarrhea or inappetence, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!

    Sorry, somehow there was a glitch. It is quite possible that nothing untowards will happen and your dog can digest all without problems.

    Hello. Just be on the look out for any intestinal discomfort, lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting or diarrhea. For the most part, the bones should be digested without a problem, so if Mabel has no problems over the next 2-3 days, she will be fine.
