Open Question: My dog ate a dead pigeon?!?!?
My dog just ate a dead pigeon. It looked like it was about 3 days dead. EWWW! Ants were on it. Bo matter what I did I couldn’t get it out of his mouth. He ate the whole thing.

Either the anti-nauseant has lost its effect, she ate a whole lot of grass or something (my mum did see her consuming vast quantities of catnip) to induce vomiting, or whatever the problem is can no longer be covered up by the drug.
What we’re trying right now is changing her food (we give her both the p
