Thanks for reaching out with your question! I'm glad you're keeping a close eye on your dog after they ate a cooked chicken bone. Cooked bones can be quite brittle and may splinter easily, which poses a risk of causing injuries to your dog’s mouth, throat, or digestive tract.
You'll want to monitor your dog closely for the next 48 to 72 hours. Signs of a problem can include vomiting, difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, lack of appetite, lethargy, or bloody stools. These symptoms could indicate an obstruction or injury.
At home, make sure your dog is staying hydrated—this helps keep everything moving smoothly within their digestive system. Encourage small but frequent meals to provide a buffer for any bone fragments and prevent constipation.
If you see any worrying signs, it’s crucial to get in touch with a veterinarian immediately, as quick intervention can prevent more serious complications.
In the meantime, watch for any changes in behavior or signs of distress. If in doubt, or if symptoms persist, consider booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. It's always better to be safe and have a professional take a closer look.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
