Keep monitoring them and see if they get worse. If they puked it up some time after eating, then that was probably the end of it. Was the rat recently dead or decomposing? If it had been dead for some time, then that is probably why it was thrown up. Besides some minor digestive upset, I don't think it will be a big problem. As stated before, just keep monitoring them.
Dogs normally eat wild critters so eating a rat is not as unhealthy as it may seem. The only problem I see is that if the rat was significantly decomposed.
I don’t even think my dog ate any of it I believe a cat was eating it and just left the remains, or my asshole neighbors threw it over. I wouldn’t put it pass them.
I didn’t actually take a look at the rodent cuz I was eating at the time so idk if it was a whole body or decomposed. But I did see throw up outside that had me concerned so I was just being safe than sorry.
My dog is doing fine now she’s alive and well.
Is any vet available even for a call? Normally, they will not charge you for a call. Tell them you plan on taking the dog, but wanted a quick opinion if they are in a dire situation.
Because, even if your pup is alright, maybe eating the rodent and he got some mild poisoning.
Did you see dhiarrhea or any other symptoms that were serious? Normally this would be obvious. If nothing is there, probably will be ok. And if the mood of the dog is fine, probably all the better.
Do not take my word for this and consult a professional. A small diagnosis is not going to cost as much. Try contacting animal help authorities also, if they can help. I wish I could help more here.
