Benbobola: now i also have to add this. about 3 weeks ago, my dog killed a large bush rat and left it at the front of his cage in d morning. i praised him for doing it anyway and in my happiness and mood of ignorance, i cooked it for him. 2 days later, he was d sickest i have ever seen. i mean to the extent he was stooling stinking blood, he never ate, he rarely moved, had to be carried and lost weight terribly. A daily trip to the vet every morning for a week including sunday was wat stopped it (lots of antibiotics, vit supplements). it was hell, i tot he was going to die buh am so glad hes good now. so, pls lets watch wat our dogs eat. PLEASE. Thank you Seun: Benbobola and Seun , I have often asked around for the reason why our locals advise against feeding dogs with bush rat intestine as well as that of some other animals that eat kolanuts, like antelopes, for example. The final result of my investigations on this was the same cautioning that dogs don't or must not eat kolanuts, which is developed as proverbial, at least, among the Yoruba. I discovered from my findings that bush rats and such other animals often eat kolanuts, which are poisonous to dogs. I don't know if anyone else has ever made similar enquiries that confirm this. I'm guessing that this might explain all the responses on this stream of dogs dying after eating bush rats. If the concept is actually true, the bush rats causing death to the dogs may have eaten kolanuts and not synthetic poison. This could be a caution to advise that even if you allow your dogs to eat bush rats, make sure they don't eat the intestines. And Seun , your dog stooling blood may have been caused by a punture of it's intestine by the cat fish strong bones. Dog breeders often advise that fish with strong bones should not be fed to dogs, except you are able to remove the long sharp vertebral bones. You may want to find out more about this from Vets. |

God bless Yoruba my language and culture... there's this Yoruba proverb which says "Aja ti o ba je ifun okete ti o baku, aya digbolugi, English translation - "Any dog that feeds on the intestines of a bush rat, if it doesn't die, it will become a mad dog". My own quota..... 1 Like |

My two little dogs in action, this is the third chicken they have hunted within 2 days. I don't feed them raw feed but they eat cooked chicken, turkey n meat often(they prefer it than canned feed). They also chase Lizards and Rats in the compound but yet to see a trace of a killed lizard or Rat. I don't know if its early to expose them to such acts. The GSD is exactly 4 month n Rott is about 2 month old.

Slyr0x: My dog killed this bush-rat like some days back. To dispose now became wahala 'cos of the whole Ebola scare. Had to wear gloves before I could even hold the "packer" to dispose the rat. Looking at the image, seems the rat urinated in fear. Lmao |

Ishilove:Well Seun is perfectly right, your dog doesn't obey cause he feels he's higher than you in the hierarchy, be dominant positively. |

We used to have a Dalmatian that could jump up and snatch low flying birds out of the air. It was really something to see. She has passed now. 1 Like |
