Feeding tonight and have pork spare ribs for first time. Tanka is a very good chewer, I can give him any chicken piece and he will chew it thoroughly. He's 110 pounds. I cut out a meaty maybe 3-4" rib that felt like it had like extra cartilage on the end, plus meat. Left it all in one. Figured he would chew it up like normal. He MAY have crunched it once and then swallowed it. Raw of course. No one to ask right now. Should I worry? Do anything?

Of course I can't guarantee anything, but to me, this is not an issue for a big dog like your guy.
A raw rib piece, maybe 4 inches long? IMHO, I'd be pretty unworried.
But of course it won't hurt to keep your eye on him.
Post back tomorrow and the next day about his poops, OK? (Of course, if something else presented itself, like discomfort or vomiting, which I have to say I wouldn't be really expecting, then you'd call the vet asap.)

Ha ha, too late.
I wouldn't worry about it either. It would be more about what's happening right now. Is he choking on it or looking weird, like it's caught in his throat or something.
He'll probably slow down once the novelty has worn off. My guys tend to dive into new stuff too.
Hope it all comes out okay.
Like Connie mentioned, post back tomorrow about the poop. We all like to hear about emergency pooping.

Two textbook poops on the morning walk. No sign of bone. Ate a normal one pound breakfast.
It's always good to be aware, to ask, etc.
As mentioned, "We all like to hear about emergency pooping."
Even as a mother of two and grandmother of three (well, five ..... three humans and two Border Terriers), I still state for the record that I never studied the poop of any other species the way I have studied the poop of dogs.
