If she just ate the soft joint from the bone it should be ok. Chicken bones are dangerous because they splinter into small slivers. But the joint is cartlidge and should be ok.

I'd keep an eye on her though and if you notice her in any discomfort I'd take her to a vet.

Speaking of discomfort.

Why do you feel you need a shock collar for a 4 pound dog. There are much more effective ways to get them to listen to you. As you can see the shock collar really didn't work in a crucial situation anyway.

Try some obedience classes. They are fun and give you a reason to spend quality time with your dog and you can teach her how to stop and drop on command. I'm sure you'd both enjoy it.

My guys love it and they love the praise ( I don't believe in rewarding with treats, just praise). I was so proud of them last night. After just 4 classes they both laid down and stayed for 3 minutes, and were so excited afterwards. We're working our way up to agility.

Well I have gotten way off topic. I just feel real strongly about the power of positive training. And the joy that you will both get from it.
