What to expect after the dog ate ...

[Happytodayhappytomorrow]

... either a dead rat or a dead squirrel?
So far, he seems his normal self apart from sulking as I won’t let him out of the kitchen.

Please don’t berate me about my dog owning responsibility.
I took my eyes off him for minutes while I picked up a poo (and not even my dog’s poo! Some random poo that another dog had left on the path) and when I turned around he was on the other side of the field eating something.
Nothing worked with getting him to drop, leave, come etc

I could see a tail and a leg hanging out of his mouth as he was desperately trying to crunch through it, fur and all.
I think he pretty much swallowed it whole.

Yes, he is going to be muzzle trained now.

What should I expect by way of sickness, diarrhoea etc?

TIA

My dog ate a mummified rat (crunched the whole thing up). I was pregnant and suffering hyperemesis at the time, I could have done without seeing/hearing that!!!

[quote PollyRoulson]@Happytodayhappytomorrow thanks for the update. Was it just me that had to check to see how unknown dog on the internets poo was this morning but very happy to hear all is well.[/quote]

I feel your pain as I can't un-see the furry leg and tail hanging out of my dog's mouth as he tried desperately to eat the whole thing!
