    6 lb chihuahua ate rib bone
    My 6lb chihuahua ate a cooked pork spare rib bone yesterday. Today she threw up a few times and pooped and I saw pieces of the bone. Should I rush her to the vet or just watcher over her? She is playing and doing everything normal.

    You should really take her to the vet for x rays to make sure there is nothing stuck in her intestinal track that could cause damage from splintered bones. If there is, then this is a serious problem.

    You could 'watch over her' but how could you tell what is going on inside that little body. There could be more of the bone to pass that could do damage.

Hi - we gave our puppy a spare rib bone and she swallowed it whole. She seems fine, but what should we do to ensure that she isn't in any danger? Should we call the vet, watch her stool? Is this something the dog can just pass? We obviously are very worried. Thanks.
