Eating a healthy mouse will not make him sick but you have to remember that the easiest mice to catch are the ones who are not healthy.
Mice can host all kinds of parasites and diseases. The fleas & mites & tics on the mouse can host all kinds of parasites and diseases.
Also you never know when one of the neighbors may be putting poison down for the mice and then your dog ingest some too.

He could get worms. and as someone else mentioned,if the mouse had ingested poison,then your dog could get very ill or die.Try to keep him from eating them,I know it's hard,my cousin lives in the country and her Golden Retriever and Labrador are forever eating mice and other things that her cats drag home.The worst that has happened to them is that they get tapeworms.

Yes and no. As long as he's dewormed regularly he'll be fine. :)
Edited to add: Make sure that the mice he's eating haven't been poisoned by mice poison, etc. If there is poison down for the mice, I'd take him to the vet immediately.

can be very dangerous especially if the mouse was poisoned before your dog eats it. the poison can also poison your dog

As long as he has all his shots he will be ok. Cats eat them all the time and are ok so can dogs.
