Any Q

If you see your dog eat a dead bird, take note, if possible, of the type of bird, how long you think it'd been dead — did it look fresh or had it begun to decay? — and how much your dog ingested. Call your vet and let them know what happened. 13 нояб. 2020 г.


What happens if dog eats a bird?

In the majority of cases, your dog will be fine if he eats the odd bird. Unlike toxic dangers from certain amphibians, the dangers posed by birds are intestinal blockages, and bacterial diseases. Usually, the bones, and other parts of a bird won't cause any harm, especially if the bird is fresh.

Can a dog get sick from eating a dead bird?

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.
