My dog ate a dead mouse. What can I give him to feel better?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 1 day old | 50 lbs

My dog eat a dead mouse he found and now doesn't feel good. Can I give him some kind of pet laxative. Or is there something that will help him feel better naturally. I'm low income and have no money right now so I can't take him to a vet at the moment

You could try giving Ash a tablespoon or two of plain canned pumpkin if you think he may be constipated, but I would not recommend using any human laxatives. If Ash is vomiting or seems weak or lethargic he really should see a veterinarian - you could look into CareCredit (www.carecredit.com) or ask about subsidized veterinary care in your area.
