Dog swallowed a whole perch
We rescued a dog in december. Our family's first dog. Last weekend we had her on the ice for some ice fishing and she swallowed a whole perch that was sitting on the ice in a pile of perch. Probably about 8 to 10 inches long. I wasn't next to her when it happened. The kids saw her do it and I later caught her trying to sneak off with another one. Needless to say we now put the perch in a bucket with a lid, not on the ice. I was worried that if she got sick the spines from the perch would lodge in her throat and cause damage. This was on Saturday. As of today she has not shown any ill effects and has had several normal bowel movements. Just curious, have any of you experienced this and is there any need for concern with the dog eating raw whole fish?
Thanks.
