If you find that your dog has eaten a fishbone, you should first observe his condition. If the dog eats a lot of fish bones or is stabbed deep, it may cause serious local infection.
If the dog coughs or tries to vomit, it indicates that the fish bone is stuck in the throat or stomach. If he feels touching an unusually hard object on his stomach or near his head, it may also be that the fishbone is stuck in his throat or stomach.
If you think the fish bone is stuck in your throat, try to inspire the dog to cough to help expel the fish bone. You can gently pat the dog on the back, or have the dog eat some bread or dry dog food to help push the fish bones toward the throat.
If the fish bone is not stuck in the throat, but is stuck in the stomach, then you can try to remove the fish bone. You need to use some flat-headed tweezers, or curved medical forceps, carefully remove the fishbone. Make sure your tweezers are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before removing the fish bones.
If your dog shows obvious discomfort symptoms, such as vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, etc., you can give him some medication to relieve the symptoms. For example, vitamin E can help relieve symptoms of digestive discomfort in dogs.
