dog ate chicken bones

Question
I have read conflicting advice. My dog ate chicken bones and skin out of the garbage there were no wings. I don't know if there were leg bones or not. I think it was mostly the body. Should I give my dog food to eat like rice or bread. I also read cotton balls? What do I do other than watch and wait? Thank you so much, I am a nervous wreck!

Answer
Carmela -

Please do not give your dog cotton balls!!!!!!!!!!   If you are concerned about his eating the chicken bones, take him to the vet to be examined.  His doctor can better determine the best course of action.
