Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 9 years old | 12 lbs
Romeo my 13 pound Shih Tzu ate a boneless bbq wing (just one) around noon yesterday. No bones. Small piece of chicken. Maybe a fry or two too. It’s been almost 24 hours without issues. Can it cause consipation by any chance or diarrhea more likely? Romeo hasn’t pooped since last night and usually does in mornings. I have been monitoring him. Thank you

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This kind of food may cause diarrhea but definitely not constipation. Please, continue to monitor Romeo at home. Most likely he will be fine but if notice any symptoms of abdominal pain, lethargy, lack of appetite or diarrhea, get in touch with your local vets.
