My small dog ate a raw chicken bone. Will chicken and rice help?

Question

If I can cure him without the expense of a doctor visit I would prefer it. If I just give him chicken and rice will he get back to normal without lasting damage under these conditions please? Do your vets go over past messages as you answer? To save your effort, He was given a raw thigh chicken bone on 11-30. He hasn't vomited yet & he eats normally. I did give him a 5min egg on 11-30 too. Does that cause diarrhea? Please address both concerns. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 5 lbs

We aren't able to see a past questions or a message thread, so thanks for including the info about the chicken bone. He could certainly get diarrhea from the chicken or eggs, either because it's a different thing for his body to process and dog's don't do great with quick diet changes, OR because he go a salmonella or e.coli infection from the raw chicken, which is certainly possible. Bones can digest in the stomach, so it's possible that it was dissolve or pass without causing any issues, but Mick's small size makes that less likely. If he were vomiting, having decreased appetite, appearing uncomfortable, less energy, then I would say a vet visit is needed ASAP. If he seems totally normal, just keep an eye on him. If he has diarrhea but is otherwise normal, a vet visit would be the safest option, but if that's not an option today, you can give him boiled chicken and rice for 1-2 more days to see if that calms down his intestinal tract. If not, he'll need to see the vet. Good luck!
