My Dakota ate a chicken wing bone this morning! My cat must have pulled it out of the garbage and she ate it before I knew it. I am so scared... I don't know what to do!

Our first corgi lived for 7 years on things like RAW chicken wings and legs. Note the "raw". Cooked bones are considered more dangerous, as they tend to splinter if they are chewed. She would even gulp down whole chicken necks.
But one bad day, she was fed a turkey neck and choked to death immediately.

Thankfully, most bones will pass. Follow Sam's suggestion: Watch the poo. Any straining or vomiting, straight to the vet. Cooked chicken bones can be quite dangerous. Prayers your pup will pass it without incident.

Wait for no.2, if she strained and produce bloody runny goo, then yes go ahead and call the vet. Most bones will pass without problem.

I concur; call the vet and follow those instructions. Wings are not that big and it will most likely pass, but occasionally something can lodge somewhere, or perforate something. Again that is NOT the usual outcome, but it is a possibility, so just do whatever the vet recommends. Chances are all will be fine.

Call the vet and hope for the best! Most of the time if you are lucky it will pass. Then get a trash can with a top since the cat and dog have now figured out how to assist each other.

You can call the vet and see what they say. I don't know that I would really worry about it unless she starts to act funny/sick. Give them a call and see what they tell you to do.

Dax is shaking a paw at Dakota for eating a chicken bone. :) Let us know how she does.

I would probably call the vet and see if you need to bring her in for xrays or induce vomiting. Definitely give the vet a call.Hope everything goes alright! Keep us updated.
