My dog chewed a fried chicken bone. Should I worry or see a vet?

Question

Hi there! I’m not 100% if he ate a piece or just chewed it and spit it out?? Nico found this fried chicken bone in the grass and ran away from me with it. I could hear him chewing on it but I’m not sure if he ate any of it. What do you think I should do!! Wait a little bit and monitor him or see the vet ASAP!!?? Thanks in advanced.

I would just watch him closely. If you notice any vomiting or diarrhea then I would have your vet take a look at him. Chances are he only got a small amount. You could feed him a little canned food tonight or boiled boneless, skinless chicken and white rice to help bulk up his stool to help coat any of the fragments IF he swallowed any of it. If any abnormal behavior is noticed, I would take him to the vet. I hope this helps!
