My dog ate chicken bone, holding head down, not jumping. What to do?

Monitor for vomiting, constipation, blood in the stools and lack of appetite, if any of them are showing these symptoms- take them to the vet ASAP in order to be checked and treated for a possible obstruction or foreign body ingestion.

Poor girl. I think both are a possibility here since they produce almost the exact same symptoms. Although you generally see more lethargy, smaller stool sizes and vomiting of both water and food in pets with an obstruction. At any rate Isabella should definitely be seen by your vet for testing (bloodwork + radiographs) and treatment based on what the final diagnosis is. I hope your fur baby is able to feel better soon! It’s best to get her seen right away. I would withhold food and only offer water until she can be seen by your vet. Best wishes and take care!

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!

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Sorry to hear about Raven. It is possible that this will pass but if she doesn't get better you will have to take her to your veterinarian for treatment. Your veterinarian can do a physical exam and then advise some tests or x rays to assess her condition. She may need fluids, medicines for nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, pain medicines, etc. So if she doesn't get better within the next 12-24 hours, you should have her evaluated. Good luck with Raven

Ideally, Darcy should be seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. Abdominal xrays may be indicated after an exam to determine if she will be able to pass the bone or not. If not, endoscopy or surgery may be needed for removal. Induction of vomiting is usually not recommended in these cases. You should be seen by your physician to address your bite wounds.

It is not good to give your dog bones, especially poultry bones as they can shatter and cause obstructions or irritate/injure the GI tract. If November has eaten bones and is now showing signs of illness (not eating, moaning in pain, seeming in distress) it would be best to seek veterinary care ASAP for an exam.

Poor Bella! This is a situation where you should absolutely have your pet seen by a veterinarian. They can do a physical exam to determine where and why she is painful, also blood work and x-rays could also be done. At the very least, it sounds like she needs a pain medication, which your vet can provide. Hope this helps, and best wishes.
