let him enjoy! to him, that's thanksgiving dinner! of course he won't die, unless he chokes on a bone. he's a meat-eater, just like you and me. what a smart, good dog! my dog killed and chewed up a critter who was after our cat one time! woo hoo!!!!

highly doubtful the dog will die. people can eat gophers and rats (tastes like chicken), so why can your dog not eat the same things?

Lol, he is fine. Both my dogs have caught at least 5 gophers. Although they were never able to catch any until they turned 3 and 4 (My female one is 4 now, an my male one is 5-6 we adopted the male one and not even they know his true age they just guessed because they found him wandering the streets starving.)

Get to the vet. The gopher may have been carrying parasites, diseases, ect. Dr. Dog

Don't worry, Dogs eat all kinds of critters that they find or kill. The worst thing that may happen is that your dog might up chuck.

Unless the animal he is eating was poisoned, the dog should be fine.

You'd know by now if the rodent had been poisoned.
Your dog will be fine.

he may get really sick. yuck! hope the dead animal didn't have rabies. can dogs get rabies from eating a rabid animal? maybe you better take it and your dog to the vet.

He will probably be fine, just watch him to make sure he doesn't get sick. If he does get sick, take him to the vet. Good luck!
