My dog ate wild animal poop. Is it dangerous? What should I do now?

Question

Dog just ate wild animal poop. Should I induce vomiting some how? What should I do now?

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

I do not think you need to induce vomiting. the poop will get digested. Usually this is not dangerous, however there is a possibility that your dog may get some indigestion, ie maybe vomiting or diarrhea which would be due to bacteria your dog is not used to. If that is the case, you may want to withhold feed for about 12-24 hrs, then feed rice and some chicken and then slowly introduce his normal feed.
