Just a quick note: you should not feed chicken bones to an animal. They can be fatal, since they splinter easily and can pierce the digestive system.

I know alot of people say that about chicken bones.

It might have happened a few times, but in general, I would say it’s a myth.

Dogs digestive system is in fact quite like humans - heavily acidic in the first stage, aimed to decompose animal proteins to amino acids, then rapid passage through their small intestines and relatively short, pretty straight colon.

I’ve seen dogs eat worse than that! But your concern is noted.

And I would never give them JUST bones.

I gave her a bunch of dog biscuits too.

So I am sure she’s ok.
