Oh no! I doing stupid. I know cooked chicken bone is not good for dog as a dangerous. I dont want to hear your commonly say it. I want to hear your advisor or experience. I gave a cooked leg chicken bones to my hay "Aussie Shepherd dog with six month olds". He ate whole a cooked leg chicken bones with little chew it. I wonder how long he will poop out the bones or possible get risk injury in less 24 hours with any symbols? I hope Hay will be okay and poop out the bones in 24 hours. plz honest

It appears you didn't like my previous answer where I did give advice on what to do, including not inducing vomiting, monitoring him for signs of an obstruction, and giving him a half slice of whole wheat bread with every meal. That is the best advice I can give for this situation, and I suggest reading the answer again to follow the advice. You could take him into a vet immediately, and they can try to use an endoscope to remove the bone from his stomach now to prevent any chance of obstruction. It could take longer than 24 hours for the bone to pass, it may take as long as 72 hours or more. You will just honestly have to wait and see if it causes problems if you don't want to take Hay into a vet now. Best of luck.
