When I came out the restroom she was finishing off a chicken bone:eek: , a drumstick I believe. What should I do? I'm so scared I can barely type. Please answer this for me I called the vet no one answered. PLEASE HELP!!

Cottony, I guess it would be useless to ask how such a small puppy got a hold of a chicken bone. My suggestion for now is to watch him for the next couple of hours. If he appears to be acting normal, wait it out. See if he vomits it up. Obviously from your post you already know the damage cooked bones can do to a dog. Check his gums and see if they appear white. If not, that is a good sign. White gums indicate internal bleeding. Check his poop in the morning. If he poops it is a good sign that there isn't a blockage of some sort. If it is black, if it looks like tar, if there are visible signs of blood, or if he doesn't poop at all, give your vet a call. If he has diarrhea you might want to hold off calling the vet and watch him closely for a couple of hours. Don't give him any treats. If he is acting normal, feed him a little bit of his regular food in the morning. If he doesn't want to eat, if he appears lethargic, if his gums are white, call your vet for further direction.

I know as a new pet owner it is hard to remember that you have to change your regular routines. After this all passes and you know your puppy is fine, start looking around your home and puppy proof it. Make sure he can't get into anything that might harm him.

P.S. Tonight, you might want to check through your local phone book and keep the number to a vet that has emergency hours, or an Animal Hospital handy. I truly hope this is not the case but if your puppy appears to be taking a turn for the worse in the middle of the night, call them.

Although chicken bones kill many dogs, many times dogs get away with eating them. Follow RubyPitbull's instructions. These things happen. To help keep things from happening in the future, you may want to read the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post251802
