My dog ate a soft bone from beef broth. Is it safe from splinters?

Question

I made bone broth with beef neck bone. The bones in question are very soft and basically turn into sand when pressure is applied. ( they cooked for 3 days) Does this level of softness decrease the risk for splinters . Our 80lb mutt snuck one

If the bones were as soft as you describe then your dog probably will be fine. Just keep an eye on him for any GI signs, like vomiting or diarrhea and if you notice these things take him to the vet as soon as possible.
