I stupidly left a chicken thigh bone on a plate and went outside for a few minutes. Of course she ate it. Im very scared. I love this dog and she has been such a blessing to myself and family. Help I will watch her of course but is there anything I can do to help her be alright? Thanks. I have a 4 pound yorkie.

Even this doesn't occur completely before the bolus of food reaches the stomach. There is no 'enzyme like peptidase' in the mouth of dogs, humans, or any other mammal for that matter. Therefore, the bone can not be digested before it reaches the stomach. Cooked bones are dangerous for dogs the same way that individuals who post false facts as truths online seem to be.

You sound like an up tight a hole but anyways, I was just on here because I fed my pit bull left over chicken with the bones in it, didn't think it was a big deal, but then someone told me it was. So I've decided to research it cause I love my dog! I've learned there are risks but usually its ok. Even though the chances are slim I won't risk it again. But it is ok for them to eat raw meat with bones, its when u cook the bones they become splintery. That's why animals in the wild can hunt for food and eat the bones -duh- they aren't cooked. Cooked bones can splinter off and rupture intestines! Eek! They say after 48 hours if nothings happened they will be fine. It may hurt comming out. Poor izzy (that's my dog) she's gana have a horrible potty time, ontop of the bones she ate 3 stuffed jalopenos (sp?)! Haha Oh my that second person was so rude.

He is a very happy and healthy dog. A dog accustomed to eating table scraps shouldn't have a problem with them. Dogs have been living around humans and eating cooked chicken bones for thousands of years. Dogs in most other countries eat whatever they can. Coyotes, Javalinas, Pigs, Ferrel cats, Raccoons, and many other wild animals will not pass up the opportunity to gobble down a cooked chicken bone. They have all the enzymes and peptidases necessary to break down the bone before it hits their stomach. I feed my dog cooked chicken bones all the time. He is a very happy and healthy dog.

Obviously, it was an accident that the chicken bone got eaten. Judging is the worst evil, and it will come back to you. I agree that it sounds like he needs to be taken to the vet. These are not great symptoms. Please don’t judge other people. Obviously, it was an accident that the chicken bone got eaten. Judging is the worst evil, and it will come back to you.

If you can't look after your dog properly nice long walks and eating healthy then you should give him to someone who can look after him. please take the dog to the vet and stop feeding him rice too.
