Do you know how the
bird died? Was it killed, or did the dogs just find it out in the
yard and bring it in. I'd call my vet, explain what happened, and
get her opinion.

hmmm - 2 weeks ago, Rudy was rolling on something in the yard and it
turned out to be a very freshly dead some-kind-of-bird (which was
basically inside out at that point). Having seen him in action, I'm
pretty sure the cause of death was HIM. I just chucked it. He stunk to
high heaven though - ICK. Weird how a dog with a soft mouth when
retrieving, who never clamps down or chews, can kill live birds in one
fell swoop.
