I think my dog ate a mouse, should I take him to a vet?

Answer 1

Most likely your dog will be fine,if it starts acting funny then I would worry but dogs can eat just about anything.Even if the mouse had eaten rat poison the dog will be ok,the rats don't consume enough to hurt the dog,you can try to give the dog some milk,it will either coat the stomach or make it come up.just watch when your dog goes to the bathroom and make sure he doesn't have any problems with that,

Answer 2

No
Coyotes are first cousins to the domesticated dog, and mice are a very important part of there diet.
Now then again if you have poisons out or your next door nabers do and the mouse was acting sick before your dog ate it then there could be reason to worry,
Look for strange eating habits, drinking more water than normal, act.
otherwise a mouse or two will not hurt him and in fact it is a good source of real pro tens.

Answer 3

Some dogs were bred for that reason. He'll be fine.... unless the mouse had been in mouse bait.....

Answer 4

if you think the mouse might of had rabbies or ate posion or you dog is acting different then yes otherwise probally not

Answer 5

No he just likes mice. My dog eats them all the time. Only time to really worry is if you are putting down poison to kill them.

He can get secondary poisoning from eating them then.

Answer 6

Yes if the mouse had rabbies. No if the mouse didn't.

Answer 7

No, he should be fine..
Unless the mouse was dying from having been poisoned...

Answer 8

No, not unless he starts to throw up or has trouble breathing, just watch him closely and make sure the bones come out the other end. :)

Answer 9
