for a dog that ate half of a cooked chicken leg bone?!
I was taking chicken bones to the garbage and Keira jumped up and grabbed one out of my hand. She only got half and I stuck my hand down her throat to try to get it out but she swallowed it whole. She's never done anything like that before and I was not expecting it at all. Never, ever has she stolen something from me before. Grr. And of course it had to be something that could be potentially dangerous.
I gave her slices of bread to hopefully cushion anything that might be sharp... but is there anything else I should do? Was that a bad idea? We've had dogs forever but none of them have ever eaten a cooked bone since I know those are dangerous so I don't know what to do. Ugh, I can't believe this happened. I hope she'll be ok. I can't believe she did that.
I called a vet and all they said was to watch her, but didn't really give any other advice.
