My dog ate a mouse and has diarrhea. When should I see a vet?

Question

My dog ate our pet mouse and he has been having uncontrollable diarrhea for a few days now. Is it going to pass or should I get him to a vet? Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Male | neutered | 2 years and 3 months old | 80 lbs

Oh no! I'm so sorry for the loss of your pet mouse. The diarrhea will likely pass, the question is when that day will be. For your sake and Levi's tummy I would get him to a vet as soon as possible so he can get some medications and treatment to expedite Levi feeling better and you not having to deal with uncontrollable diarrhea. In the interim you can try fasting him for 12-24 hours and then reintroduce a bland diet of plain boiled chicken and rice. Getting him seen by the vet would be the best and quickest way to no more diarrhea. Best. of luck and I wish Levi a speedy recovery!
