My 12-week old golden doodle puppy June found and ate a dead baby bird, bones and all. It looked pretty old/decomposed. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Female | unspayed | 11 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be an issue as it may cause gastrointestinal upset and most importantly it can cause a gastrointestinal obstruction. I would recommend that you monitor her closely for signs of a gastrointestinal issue such as inappetence, vomiting and/or abdominal pain. If any of these are observed, have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment then. Hoping for the best!
