Hi! My two month old puppy has swallowed a coin size beef bone yesterday at 12 pm. She's still acting normal and pooped regularly. Will the bone be a problem or was it digested? Will she pooped it out? Will my puppy gonna be okay? She's not vomiting or choking. She's normal as I can see.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am glad to hear that Europe is doing well. If she had the bone well over 24hrs ago now, it means that she is out of danger and she will be fine. Bones of that size are rapidly digested in the stomach, so you won't see it in her stools.

    Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Most likely your puppy will digest the bone and she will not show any worrying symptoms. If she starts to vomit, you will need to take her to your local vets.
