Step 1: Assess the Situation
- Check the dog’s mouth and gums for any signs of injury or excessive bleeding.
- Monitor the dog for any vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in behavior.
Step 2: Call Your Veterinarian
- Contact your veterinarian immediately, even if the dog seems fine. Gobies have sharp spines and bones that can cause internal injuries or punctures.
- Provide your veterinarian with as much information as possible, including:
- The species of goby (if known)
- The size and weight of the dog
- The time and circumstances of the ingestion
Step 3: If Instructed, Induce Vomiting
- Your veterinarian may recommend inducing vomiting to remove the goby if it was ingested recently (within 2 hours).
- Do NOT induce vomiting if the dog is unconscious, having seizures, or has difficulty breathing.
Step 4: Monitor for Complications
- If the dog is not instructed to vomit, monitor it closely for any signs of:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if any of these symptoms develop.
Potential Complications
- Gastrointestinal obstruction: Gobies’ spines and bones can cause blockages in the dog’s digestive system.
- Punctures: The sharp spines of gobies can puncture the dog’s mouth, esophagus, or intestines.
- Bacterial infection: Gobies can carry bacteria that can cause infections in the dog’s digestive system.
- Electrolyte imbalances: Prolonged vomiting or diarrhea can lead to electrolyte imbalances in the dog.
Treatment and Prognosis
- Treatment will depend on the severity of the complications.
- If there is a gastrointestinal obstruction, surgery may be necessary.
- Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat any bacterial infections.
- Intravenous fluids may be given to correct electrolyte imbalances.
- The prognosis for dogs that ingest gobies depends on the severity of the complications and the timeliness of treatment.
Prevention
- Keep dogs away from areas where gobies are present.
- Do not feed dogs raw fish or fish scraps.
- If a dog does ingest a goby, contact your veterinarian immediately.
