My Vet did NOT see bone in stomach. Sunday only slight water as bowl movements. Today no bowl movements. Kyro eating & acting normal. No extended stomach or delicate

Bones can dissolve in the stomach with enough time. It sounds like Kyro had a bout of pancreatitis that caused the vomiting and diarrhea. If Kyro is now acting normal, I would continue to feed the bland diet and see what happens. It may take a day or two for there to be enough food ingested to create solid poop. If he stops eating, starts vomiting again, or seems lethargic, he should be re-examined by a vet.
