Hello, My three month old husky/retriever ate a third of a non edible puppy Nylabone this morning. Since he ate it, he has pooped three times, but also threw up this afternoon. I have found parts of the bone in his stool. Should I keep an eye on him or would you suggest to take him to the vet?

If you think he got a big enough piece swallowed intact, he could have a partial or full obstruction, which can be life-threatening if left untreated. I strongly recommend getting him seen right away by your vet or an emergency clinic.
