My dog ate cooked chicken wing bones and seems fine. What to do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In general, if there hasn’t been a problem for 48 hours, you’re in the clear. Continue feeding Indy as usual. If there is some diarrhea but Indy is still eating and playing and active, im still not terribly concerned. But if vomiting starts or you’re seeing lethargy or loss of appetite, it’s time to head in to the vet as soon as possible. Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Indy!

Chicken wings with bones can cause gastritis or irritation of the stomach, and occasionally the bones can become lodged in the esophagus, stomach or intestines and cause an obstruction. Often a wing will be digested and the dog will have no problems whatsoever. As long as Chewy is otherwise healthy with no history of medical problems I think you can monitor him for vomiting, diarrhea or a decrease in appetite over the next few days.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The shards from chicken bones can cause intestinal tears and can form blockages. If Jackson is eating and having normal bowel movements, he may have passed the fragments without your noticing. If Jaxson is. It acting like himself or is having diarrhea or vomiting, especially with blood, he should be seen by a vet right away. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

I'm not sure how big Joey is, but in my experience it would be uncommon for a single chicken wing (or half of one) to cause any problems unless he's a very tiny dog. I would monitor him closely for the next couple of days for any signs of a problem - like repeated episodes of vomiting, acting lethargic, or not wanting to eat. These can be signs of an obstruction or damage to the intestines, so he should see a vet right away if you notice any problems. But as long as he's eating and drinking and acting normal, you shouldn't need to worry :)

Poor dog. Unfortunately bones have the potential to cause intestinal obstruction in pets, so you want to monitor him/her for he next 24-48 hrs for signs of trouble. The rotisserie chicken can also cause an acute inflammatory response of the pancreas (pancreatitis), so monitoring for that is also advised. Watch out for signs that include: excessive vomiting (even water), lack of appetite, and abdominal pain. If you see these symptoms then your pet should seek medical attention by your local vet immediately for a proper care. In the meantime you should feed your pet a bland diet of plain boiled chicken and rice or cottage cheese to help the stomach settle. You can also offer your pet 1/2-1 slice of bread (depending on the size of your pet) twice a day to help bind the bones and encourage passage through the gut. Also taking your pet on 20-30 minute brisk walks twice a day can help promote GI (gastrointestinal) motility and encourage passage of the bones as wel. I hope this helps and I hope that your furry friend turns out ok. Best of luck!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the chicken bones were cooked and she chewed them up she likely will be fine. I would call your Vet when they open and have them examine her. They likely will take an X-ray to see how big the pieces are. I hope this helps and I wish Bonnie the best!

Hello again. As I said earlier, the bone was digested/dissolved. A single piece of cooked bone would have no problems being digested & passing normally through the GI tract. If he has been symptom free for a day, he will continue to be symptom free. If you like, you can continue the pumpkin for another day, but this is not absolutely necessary. He will be fine.
