So I am curious. My dog caught a mole. And although he didn't kill it or eat it, it did have puncture wounds on it. My dog is up to date with all his shots, should I be concerned with my dog catching a disease or getting sick?

Sometimes dogs can get intestinal parasites from catching wild critters & birds. Birds carry coccidia. One of my dogs got coccidia from licking bird poop off the sidewalk, gross!Of course fleas are always a concern also. Just keep an eye on his stools if they look loose take one into the vet to be tested. I would check a stool every 6 months ,even if they look normal, just to be safe since your boy is a hunter. :-)sigpic Brenda

This will gross you out!! Years ago, my female (Blue 1994-2004) pounced on and ate a frog in our yard before I could blink. She seemed fine. We had planned to bathe her later that day, and in the bathtub she got sudden a case of explosive diarrhea and the whole frog came out albeit in a few pieces. Aside from the major cleanup job (for us), there were no further side effects, next BM was perfectly normal (and no frog parts!!).
We did get her checked out, with fecal tests, all negative, but I keep a very close eye out for frogs since then!Tricia, and
