Why would Jasmine

[rene]

Eat a dead mouse this morning i was trying to get my patio chairs (cushions) in the house cuz it was raining and i heard a scuffel so i looked and Jasmine took a mouse (my present lol) from oscar my cat and was chewing it (gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooossssssssseeeeeee) it was already missing half it's head well i was freaking out of course and screaming at her to drop it she did then i thought ok now what I'M NOT TOUCHING IT lol my son was in the shower so i decided to get plastic bags (5 of them lol) put them on my hand and got a big zip lock bag went back out to get it and it WAS GONE so was jasmine so i was screaming for her and there she was UNDER MY DINNING ROOM TABLE with that gross bloody thing i thought i was going to puke it was so gross i picked it up whining the whole time put it in the zip lock and took it out to the garbage. I told my son when he got out of the shower and i was grossing out as i was telling him he said so what it's just a head less dead mouse aaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh what a way to start the day. I know she likes kitty poop but dead mice not that is really sick. And poor oscar had a present for me but it got taken away from him lol he has not done that for a long time and when he does he just kills it and leaves it never eats it.

I feel your pain....Ewwwwww ! I know mine have played with a toad and chased birds but never have eaten anything - I know yorkies are rodent hunters by nature and were bred for this - but I thought it was to kill... not eat. I'd brush her teeth REALLY GOOD and give a few crunchie treats - then brush her teeth again....maybe a bath too ? I'm hoping mice don't carry anything but really don't know....

really i didnt know they were rodent hunters see you learn something new everyday sebastain chases bugs but doenst eat them he just kills them. I called the vet she said since jasmine is UTD with rabies and all shots she should be fine. good idea about the teeth brushing lol but i'm gone from 7am to 6pm i should tell my kids to do it for me lol

Very graphic rene! Thanks for ruining my supper, LOL! J/K! Yeah someone could probably do a search on "yuck" or "gross" and see posts of all kinds of things yorkies eat.

That is on eof my BIGGEST fears! Being from AK I have never dealt with mice before and in NY they are everywhere! I am so afraid Hallie or Simon is going to get one! Oh, I am so grossed out! I am so sorry you had to deal with that! Yes, brush her teeth 50 times and give her a nice long bath

I just don't like mice, eeewwww! Schatzie has seen one before looking out the slider on our deck and she went ape nuts!!! I just knew she'd chase that little thing down and chomp on it if she had the chance!

Grosses me out!

WEll that is just a nasty story...but I wanted to let you know that I was told by my vet, when Baby had tapeworms, that they are most commonly transmited from rodents, cats (b/c they eat rodents) and eating poop from either of the previous. Tape worms are a nasty thing as they externilize themselves on your baby's bum, so I'm not sure about testing, we realized after I was one on Baby's bum and took her in immediatley. The fix is a simple pill. But sorry not trying to scare you...just spread some advice I for from the vet! Good luck!
