I went outback to let the dogs in and I noticed something laying by the basketball hoop, i thought it was one of their toys, but when i took a closer look i found out it was a dead squirell!!! Ewwwwwwwww....i dont think the dogs ate it, it looked pretty intact, i dont even think they killed it, it kinda looks like it fell out of a tree. Will the dogs be ok? It looked like some of the fur was missing from the tail, i dont know if it was like that before it died or not. Im keeping the dogs inside and waiting for Jason to come home to take care of it, i dont want to see that agian.EWWWWWW
Hmmm, maybe a bird like a crow got it. But wonder why it was not eaten. Or maybe your dogs did catch it for a short while long enough to mame it and it got up the tree and fell. As long as your dogs have their rabies shots they should be ok. Maybe a mitacide bath, just in case. I'm pretty sure wild animals have them.
its highly unlikely that your dogs would contract rabies from a squirrel.Most animals can be infected by the virus and can transmit the disease to man. Infected bats, raccoons, foxes, skunks, dogs or cats provide the greatest risk to humans. Rabies may also spread through exposure to infected domestic farm animals, groundhogs , weasels and other wild carnivores. Squirrels, rodents and rabbits are seldom infected.
I wasn't talking about rabies. Its just sometimes people take animal problems into there own hands and they might have had posion put out and that why the squarril died or there are main other un natural causes.
