What can happen if a puppy swallows a small bone?

Answer 1

Since there isn't much that you can do after the chicken bones have been ingested by your dog, you simply need to monitor him closely for the next few days.

Keep checking his stools to see if the bones pass. Watch for blood in the stool, or any signs that he's straining to defecate.

You should also keep an eye on your dog's temperament. If he becomes moody or listless, take him to a vet immediately.

Perhaps the best thing you can do is try to "cushion" the tiny bones inside your dog's tummy by overfeeding him a little more over the next couple of days. Cooked rice (that's completely cooled first) is ideal, because it is gentle on a dog's stomach and digestive tract. You could serve up a small helping of plain white rice alone, or mix some cooked rice in with your dog's normal dog food.

Then, you just wait and see.

Chances are, everything will come out fine in the end.

bread will also help my dog did the same thing luckily my bffs dad is a vet and he said 2 give her some bread

Answer 2

As long as he's able to breathe he'll be fine, Give him small pieces of bread and lots of with water. Once it's swallowed, it shouldn't be a problem. The stomach acid will dissolve it in an hour or so. Fish bones are more of a hazard when they lodge in the throat, not when swallowed.

Answer 3

This actually happened to my dog. First different bone types will have different results. Chicken bones can cause lots of damage due to their splintering upon being chewed. Pork bones have more jagged sharp edge points. If the bone is lodged in the windpipe, the dog is in a state of panic trying to breathe. They may lash out and try to bite anything and anyone around them. (fear-biting). On the advise of a friend, I took a needle nose pliers and grabbed the bone, I slowly wiggled the bone side to side and simultaneously back toward me till the bone was out. If your dog has swollowed the bone, do not hesitate to contact your vet or call/ go to an emergency vet.

Answer 4

If your puppy swallows a small bone you should first call the vet, but my puppy swallowed glass once and the vet said to give her a piece of white bread because it coats the glass( or bone) and builds up a cover to avoid scratching the throat or stomach. but still call the vet!

Answer 5

no. But if the bone is chicken then yes because the bone is too strong so your dog wont be able to break in smaller pieces and it depends if your dog has a small neck because the dog could choke and die but if the neck is big then it may not be able to choke.

Answer 6

it depends. is it is a small dog, you might want to take it to the vet. If it is a big dog, it depends on the size of the bone. if it is a big bone, I'd take it to the vet. if its a small bone, i watch the dog carefully just for a few days.
