I'm such an idiot, I was eating a chicken breast and finished and went upstairs to change LO, and my border collie totally ate the breast, bones and everything while I was upstairs.
I called my vet and they recommended vomiting, but the vet is out at a conference today. So I called another vet and they don't recommend vomiting, they say give her fibrous food to help her pass them.
Anyone have any experience with this? I can't believe I was so stupid to leave the chicken out!
Re: My dog ate chicken bones!?!
Disclaimer: I am not a vet nor do I usually impersonate one. When our crazy kids swollow razor blades they are removed endoscopicly. That seems extreme for chicken bones.
She's about 30lbs. She ate tin foil last year and it didn't affect her, fingers crossed for the same results!
Usually dogs can pass the bones. Continue feeding. Watch for vomiting, anorexia, straining to defecate, blood in stool, abdominal discomfort.
I wouldn't be horribly surprised if she gets a little diarrhea from the "treat". Some more sensitive dogs can get pancreatitis.
Good luck
I'd do canned pumpkin instead. Fiber is good to help pass things.

I've never heard of pumpkin before either.
But I was told it's the same thing that happens when a dog eats grass. (I swear my dog is part cow) usually when she eats grass there is something in her next poop that is not easy to get out.
I hope your pup is okay.
Still waiting for her to pass the bones. But the good news is she's still acting normally!
Thanks for asking, I totally forgot to update! And thanks again everyone for all your help!
I'm the type of person tempted to call lost pet ads to see if the pet was found. I hate seeing a sign up for a year and not knowing!
So I had to ask
