It depends on the kind of bones, how many and if they were chewed or not. Splintered bones can gouge and tear at the intestinal tract as they move through, bigger bones swallowed whole can get stuck. If your dog has eaten bones and is lethargic, painful, defecating blood or not defecating at all, has diarrhea or vomiting or refuses food, these are all signs that there is a problem and she should be seen by a vet right away.
