Bone

My dog picked up a bone on the ground when we were walking and he ate it. I am not sure if it’s cooked or not. Should I take him to the vet?

Dyrlæge på FirstVet svarer:

Bones can get stuck in the dog's throat, stomach and in the worst case, if they splinter into sharp pieces, they can make holes in the intestine. It is therefore important to keep an eye on your dog after it has eaten bones. I must remind you that this Q&A service is not suitable for urgent questions and I recommend instead that in these cases you book a video consultation with one of our veterinarians.
