Dog ate chicken bones 🤦🏼‍♀️

My husband and I ordered wings for dinner and I left the trash out and found my dog eating the bones. She ate most of them and there was 25 wings... I’m scared my dog is going to die or something.

Have you called the vet?? If not you need to do that asap. A bone or 2 usually will pass in most dogs (not all and size/breed does matter) but if your dog ate all 25 bones or even a good number of them yes it could end poorly if not dealt with. The can get stuck in the intestines or colon, can splinter or break and perforate something, can cause a bowel obstruction, etc. I am hoping you called the vet as soon ad it happened but if not you need to do so and tell them exactly how many bones you think they ate. They might just have you watch you dog for a few days, or suggest a specific food to help, or tell you to go to the vet immediately. I hope your pupper is ok but call the vet and listen to a T what they tell you and follow it.

All they said was keep an eye on her for 48-72 hours.

Call an er vet or 24/7 animal clinic. Doesn't have to be your vet but this 100% constitutes an emergency

Unfortunately this happened late at night and they are closed Sunday so we can’t call until tomorrow

I agree with the others to call your vet as soon as they open. This happened to me before. My dog ate an entire chicken rotisserie carcass which was a TON of bones. While you wait for your vet to open, try and feed your dog some bread. It helps provide some cushion for the bones. That’s what I was told to do. My dog ended up being perfectly fine!

Yes I will they are closed today, last night when I happened I fed her bread because I read that online haha. I’m beating myself up for leaving the trash out. By the time I heard her crunching on them she already ate a lot of them.
