My dog ate a bug dead for years. Is he okay? Will he get poisoned?

Question

My dog ate a huge bug (like an inch and a half long) that’s been dead for so many years- I don’t know what kind it was but it had wings and kind of looked like a big skinny beetle?? please help! Is he going to be okay? Is he going to be poisoned? What do I do?! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 18 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Kalli will be fine from eating the big. She may vomit it up because it may not digest well but it won’t harm her. I would leave her alone and it should pass. Kisses to Kalli!
