Uh-Oh...Chicken bones...

As I mentioned, its my mom and dads anniversary party.

Anyway my little cousin didn't want her chick wing, so I layed it on the table, assuming it would be fine because Jasper NEVER takes stuff from the table.

Well he did

he ate the whole thing.

Is there anything I should watch for?? I have given him bread...

I don't know, but chicken bones remind me of my sweet girl Nova.

When we went to get her from te SPCA and were brining her home we stopped for KFC, we ate it all and put it all in a bag. Well Nova dove for it and ate like 6 bones before I could stop her! It was so horrible, I felt like the WORST mom EVER. My poor baby!! LOL, noting happened though. I'm not even sure what to watch for any more. LOL.

Been there, done that. Make sure he is pooping regularly, is the only thing I can thing of.

Watch for throwing up, and make sure his stools are regular. If he's going normally, he should be fine.

Just make sure he acts normal (poops normal, eats normal, drinks normal, etc).

Thanks everyone! I been watching him alot, and he's still asleep right now(11:13am) lol, I'll be keeping a close eye on him all day!!

How's he been doing so far?

You wouldn't BELIEVE the things my pups have gotten into! WHOLE chickens, 3 lbs of fudge, etc.

Just keep an eye on him, like everyone's suggested. Chances are he chewed it pretty good before he swallowed it, so unless you notice problems with his stool or vomiting, he should be ok.

Everybody on here is right, try not to worry so much about the bone. I freaked out when this happened to Bailey, but it's really not as bad as it seems.

Bailey did this about a month or so ago. She ate a chicken thigh bone. The vet said watch her for the first 12 hours to see if she had diarrhea, vomiting, or lethargy. If you see any of these symptoms, take Jasper to the vet IMMEDIATELY. After the first 24 hours if you don't see any of the symptoms, then you are almost out of the woods.

The last thing you have to look out for is constipation. If Jasper has any symptoms, call the vet and they will probably give him some meds to un-constipate him.

It'll be ok...please give Jasper some hugs from me!
