Question
How long should I watch him after he has eatin the chicken bones? He seems fine but he has not produced much feces scince then only one pile and it only had one little bone in it and he ate about 5 wings and 2 legs? Any info would be helpful. Thank You

Answer
Hi Jane;
How long has it been since he ate them?
If there was a bone in the feces, then he DID NOT chew them up. they could be splintered and stuck in the walls of his intestines, or in his digestive tract.
To be on the safe side, I would take him right away to his Veterinarian and let him Xray him to make sure there is no internal damage.
There are too many factors to consider, and too many ways this can kill him, to take a chance.
