My dog ate cooked chicken bones. Is he going to be okay after 24 hours?

Question

Yesterday around 10pm my dog got a hold of and ate 2 cooked chicken thigh bones. I've been monitoring his behavior and bowel movements. It's been about 24 hours now he pooped twice today, his stool was a little loose but held its shape, no blood or bone fragments were in it, it doesn't seem like he's passed it yet. He's not acting lethargic and is able to eat, I only fed him later in the day. Should I still be worried at this point or is he going to be OK? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 4 years and 1 month old | 40 lbs

He is likely going to be okay but you should still monitor him closely for a bit longer. Monitor for any vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite and discomfort. The bones have a good chance of being digested without causing a major problem.
