lovemesideways Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 So out at St Ives Showground. Riddick fished something out of the bucket of water and was on his way to bringing it to me when I realised what he was holding had feet and yelled for him to leave it. He spat it out, it was a bird that must have fallen into the water bucket. Unfortunately before I could get there, my friends dog Regal snatched it up and poor birdy became lunch. RIP Birdy. Though you where an Indian Myna... Should I be telling Regals owners to watch out for anything? Does he need any vaccinations or worming because of it?

Lottie decided it would be nice to eat a dead bird yesterday, so last night I had the pleasure of washing diarrhoea off her lovely long 'pants' (the fluff around her bum - it's VVERRRY long!!!) . She only really had the one bout of it, and she wasn't 'off' in any way, just she had a little diarrhoea from it, so I just kept an eye on her and all is good now!!

Kirislin Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'd probably be worming him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenau1 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 My Malamute used to catch doves 'on the wing' in the back yard all the time. Our vet advised to keep up with regular worming, other than that it really wasn't a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfthewords Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thirding the worming advice; one of mine regularly kills birds in the backyard and drags them inside to eat. I stepped in birdy guts once. But this is coincidental because I took one of the rescue dogs from work to Bayview today, and he dragged a grey mynah from the shoreline back to the car without me noticing.

Hi Lovemesideways, Rosie has done the same thing, but with a mouse once - I tried to get her to drop it by offering her a lovely treat, but she swallowed the mouse to get the treat. I have now taught her to "leave" which she is pretty good. Rocky of course couldn't care less about other creatures - possums, cats etc could be doing the tango in front of him, but he couldn't care!!
