What are the side effects of a dog eating mouse poison?
Mouse poison and rat poison are usually chemical that stop blood clotting resulting in internal haemorrhaging leading to death. Really nasty stuff. Similar chemicals are used to thin blood in victims of heart attack under strictly controlled dosage. Needless to say if a dog eats the stuff it runs the same risk as the mouse but it has to eat a lot more of it. It would be advise able to have a word with your local animal welfare organization for advice. In the mean time keep the animal if it is active protected from getting any cuts as it will be very difficult to stop the bleeding.
