Will a ham bone make a dog sick?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Yes, you should be worried if your dog consumed an entire ham bone. The bone fragments can cause severe gastrointestinal issues and might even lead to death in some cases. The next 24 hours after your dog eats a ham bone are crucial.


What happens if a dog eats a ham bone?

If your dog ingests a cooked ham bone, it can severely harm its digestive tract. Depending on a dog's age, breed, and size, damage can end up being fatal. The more bone that a dog consumes, the more likely you are to see problems arise.

Will ham bones dissolve in a dog's stomach?

When a dog swallows part of a ham bone but doesn't appear to show any discomfort or any weird behavior, there's a good chance that they'll be fine and simply digest whatever fragments they've eaten. Watch your dog closely for any changes, give them a little extra attention and make sure that they get plenty of water.
