    If not treated quickly to the vet it will cause death, however the poison that the dog consumed was either Strychnine or Sodium Fluoroacetate with like I said earlier if not treated quickly the following symptoms will occur: vomiting, faster heart rate, difficulty breathing and depression or death oh I forgot it will cause neurological problems (nerve system) and could be permanent.

Rats additionally can carry very risky parasites alongside with fleas and ticks which in turn can carry quite a number of alternative risky ailments like Cholera, Malaria, Yellow Fever etc etc., so its in user-friendly terms a risky for you as that's for the canines!
