My dog accidentally swallowed a chicken bone. What should I do now?

[]

Answer

Swallowing a chicken bone is potentially dangerous. Cooked bones are particularly risky as they can splinter, causing internal injuries, blockages, or choking. Monitor your dog closely for signs like gagging, vomiting, abdominal pain, lethargy, or difficulty passing stool. If you observe any concerning symptoms, or if your dog is actively choking, seek veterinary care immediately. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
