| Help! I caught Ben chewing on a chicken bone. I have no clue how he got it, but it was still intact when i took it away from him. But there were shards laying around still.... it was a chicken leg... any advice? |

| I believe ben will be ok. It was very lucky that the bone was intact, otherwise he could have choked. Keep him away from those, and he will be just fine.

| He could have still chewed it up, or swallowed it. You could wait and see if he poop's that part out. Be sure that he is drinking ok and pooping. If he does not poop the bone could cause an abdominal Obstruction.
