The following article was obtained from VIN, the Veterinary Information Network.  Should your pet be exposed to a toxin or potentially harmful substance, product or food item, please seek medical care immediately, contact your veterinarian or Animal Poison Control 

1-888-4-ANI-HELP (1-888-426-4435) and the website is http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control

The doctors at Litchfield Veterinary Hospital also advise against giving pets bones to chew on.  Bones can be harmful if swallowed, causing GI upset and/or obstructions.  They also can lead to tooth fractures.
