My dog Killed a stray cat, what to do?

i don't think your dog will get sick from it..it's good you got a kennel for him so he can't kill another one.. i agree on getting cats fixed..where we live we are over run by feral cats because the animal control won't take them..they say they are considered wild animals..

As the first poster said, there is the possibility of fleas. I'd also worry about worms, which he can get even if he chews on mice. You can also have the cat's brain examined via autopsy for piece of mind to make sure it doesn't have rabies, although if the dog is vaccinated, you shouldn't have to worry anyway. Just handle the cat body with gloves.

I'm also agreeing with the first poster... what is your dog doing outside unsupervised at 5 AM?

double bag and toss the cat obviously or call animal control to come pick it up. Make sure your dog has plenty of water, but if he is otherwise fine through the night, just make a call to your vet in the morning and talk to them.

Mice can be an issue if people are leaving out Decon for them. If he kills and eat one he could end up with secondary poisoning.

Bring the dog inside where he belongs! If you don't want an indoor dog, then you don't want and shouldn't have a dog. A dog can get sick killing all these various animals, not to mention he may have killed someone else's pet. You don't know what those animal may have been in contact with.

No big deal. Just call a vet and ask them for information on what to look out for. Otherwise it's alright. I get bitten and scratched by cats all the time. I just disinfect them and go off on my way. Just put some rubbing alcohol on the wounds and forget about it :]

Chooch- since when do dogs get agressive after killing something?

and since when can you not train out agression??

better tell all those darn sighthounds and hunting dogs owners.

If you're not a troll, you're a damn idiot.

How about you TRAIN your dog to "LEAVE IT" and SUPERVISE it when it's outside like a responsible owner?

Logic- you don't have it.

When in doubt, call your vet. Likely the worse your dog got was fleas.

Try training him commands, or you make him stay inside the house more often.

Once your dog gets the taste of blood in his mouth, he becomes more aggressive and mean. You might need to consult your vet to see if there is anything wrong with him. If he does get aggressive, then you might have to put him down... Sorry!

I would take him to the nearest veterinarians hospital ASAP
