Yes, many times when mice are caught it is because they are sick, either poisoned, old or ill. If you live in an area where people use mouse/rat bait in their homes, it is definitely something to watch out for and be aware of. Even if the mouse is already dead, the poison stays in the mouse, so whatever eats the mouse, dog or cat or wild animal, the poison will reactivate as the mouse is digested, and it's the same as if the animal ingested the poison.
If she throws up, take the vomit with you to the vet.
