Small dog swallowed small chicken bone-now what?

You should have been searching his poop. He is digesting it hopefully. Did it have a sharp end?

To make sure, you would have to take him to the Vet and have x-rays done. If it was me I would watch for other symptoms before doing that,

Dogs can easily digest bones. The critical part with chicken bone is the swallowing process. When it’s in the stomach, there is no point to worry.

If there is a blockage problem, you likely would have seen vomiting/diarrhea and inability to keep down food or water. If your little guy is behaving normally, has a healthy appetite and regular activity level, he got away with it this time.

If its been 4 days and he’s still eating and pooping normally then he’s fine.

You didn’t say if it was raw or cooked, raw chicken bones are fine, cooked can be problematic. Although there are lots of dogs in this world who live on a steady of anything they can forage including cooked bones. The main thing is that if 4 days have passed with no sign of trouble, it has been digested and is now fertilizing your lawn.

I think your dog will be fine. It’s the swallowing part that is most dangerous to them cause they can easily choke on the small bones.
