Any Q

Try to prevent your pet from eating/touching dead birds. If your pet develops diarrhea after eating a dead bird, it is probably not a health concern for anyone else but Salmonella infection is possible, so consider taking your dog to the veterinarian. 12 июн. 2008 г.


Can my dog get sick from eating a dead animal?

Dead animals may also be carrying dangerous bacteria that your dog could be exposed to. One of the most dangerous is clostridium botulinum, which is a preformed neurotoxin that can be found in dead animal carcasses. Dogs can contract botulism from ingesting contaminated carcasses.

How do I know if my dog ate a dead bird?

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for dogs to eat dead animals found in the yard or on walks. Thankfully, in most cases the worst that may occur is some stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea). Monitor for GI upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea), lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.
