Watch your pet closely for the next 24 hours. If vomiting, weakness or unusual behaviour appears, call us on +853 6677 6611.
Signs to watch for
- Gagging or choking
- Vomiting
- Straining or blood in stool from bone fragments
What to do
Do not induce vomiting. Watch for choking now and appetite or stool changes over 48 hours, and call us if any appear.
Macau note
Dim sum chicken feet are cooked, so the many small bones splinter easily. Raw feet from wet markets are a milder chew but still not risk free.
