I don't really know what to say. Numbers don't lie. You can see from my previous post that the amount needed to get the same results is MUCH more for a dog than a mouse--way more than it would be possible for one mouse to still have in it's system. Facts are facts.

All I know is that it was a concern when mine had a rat and they did not actually eat it. When one started vomiting, my vet felt he needed to be seen. She is out of town this week, but I will ask her just so know for future reference.
The problem is that IF it were too much. by the time a person realized it the dog could end up dying from blood loss. Warfarin is a powerful substance. Not sure I would want to test that theory about amounts. Vitamin K is not a huge deal to give.
