My dog ate a mouse from a trap. Is it safe if no poison was used?

With a dog Ace's size, the mouse likely will not cause any problems such as an intestinal obstruction. It may cause vomiting / diarrhea, but he will likely be fine as the bones will dissolve in the stomach. I would monitor for vomiting, lethargy, inappetance, etc. and have a veterinarian examine him should any of these symptoms arise. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions / concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Even though it's expired, it can still caused Luna serious problems. You need to take her into a vet immediately. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Eating a mouse is a fairly natural thing for a dog to do. Most likely Daisy will be just fine. You will want to monitor for any signs of illness, such as lethargy, inappetence, vomiting, or diarrhea, and seek veterinary care if these develop. I hope you don't have any problems while Daisy is in your care.

There are a couple things you should be concerned about, if your dog is not vaccinated then leptospirosis is a concern as Rats carry it and it is a serious disease in dogs (affecting the kidneys and liver). the main second concern is rat poison, if the rate ingested rat poison in the past couple weeks, then your dog could be poisoned too, these poisons are usually blood thinner which cause an animal to bleed to death, often it has a delayed action and the treatment for that is vitamin K, which must be given by your vet by injection first.

Make sure the ingested animal did not die from rodenticide. If so, it is possible your puppy will suffer secondary exposure and may require veterinary attention. If not, monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or lethargy. See your vet if you notice any of these signs.

Hello and thank you for your question regarding Chester. It is so difficult to keep our dogs away from dead animals, isn’t it? It’s like candy to them. I realize that there are so many things that can run through your head as to what can go wrong after ingesting a dead mouse that died of an unknown death. We begin to think of all of the worst case scenarios. Because Chester 65 pounds, the likelihood that it will cause any gastrointestinal ripping or damage is unlikely. The mouse could, however, cause gastrointestinal upset like diarrhea and vomiting if there was putrefaction in the rodent. your concern about whether a mouse that died of pesticides or rat bait poisoning could be an issue is a valid one. If the mouse did in deed die of poisoning then Chester can be affected by this within 24 to 72 hours. I do think it would be best to take him to a veterinarian as soon as you can to at least have some blood work performed to check if there has been any evidence of toxicity. The veterinarian may also want to take an abdominal x-ray just to make sure that nothing else is happening in the intestines. Nine times out of 10 these tests will show nothing abnormal and your dog will be fine. But it is always better to error on the side of caution. I hope this is helped.

If she did not eat the rodent, then I do not think you have to worry about. Check her small bite marks, as the rodent could have bitten her, and if you finde bite marks, take her to your veterinarian for an exam and prescription antibiotics. If she ate the rodent then I would be worried that it may have been a poisoned one and suggest you closely monitor your dog's mucous membranes for paleness, or have your vet do a coagulation panel to determine whether Lux's clotting ability is compromised. If you notice your dog getting ill, you should also take him in to the vet. In general, it is not a huge problem if your dog kills a rat.
