Hello, my 6 year old Jack Russell has eaten a cooked chicken bone around 1 hour ago. There has been no concerning symptoms as of yet. I just want to see if I should take him to the vet or what to do.

Hello. If Pie seems to be fine, then I would not worry. Most times the bone will be easily digested & pass on through. If he should develop any vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, hard bloated abdomen, or loss of appetite, please have him seen by your veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
