How long does it take for a dog to digest fish bones after eating them?

Fish bones cannot be digested by dogs and may even scratch the dog's intestines. It is best to pick out the fish bones and feed them to the dog to prevent the dog's throat from getting stuck. If the dog vomits, it is recommended to send the dog to the pet hospital immediately for examination and treatment. You can usually feed the dog some probiotics to promote gastrointestinal digestion.
