Dogs eat fish spines how to soften

There is no way to soften fish spines in dogs, and it is even more impossible to soften them by drinking vinegar like humans do. For smaller fish spikes, dogs can swallow them naturally with food. For larger, deeper punctures, it is best to take the dog to the hospital and have the punctures removed with the help of a veterinarian. Owners can also handle the problem themselves by shining a flashlight down the throat, pressing the back of the tongue with a small spoon, and carefully examining the throat, and using long tweezers if the fish spike is not deep enough.
