All you should do at this stage is to monitor Negus at home for signs of vomiting and abdominal pain (hard, uncomfortable belly when you touch it). If you see any of these symptoms, please take Negus to your vet right away. However, most likely the bone will be digested and you will not see any symptoms whatsoever.
