ingesting mold/bacteria/pathogens
on another note, it was a young bird (maybe a few weeks old, just starting to get feathers), and the bones of course were small - do you think her stomach acid will digest the bones or am I likely to see baby bird parts in her waste...ugh, I really hope I don't have to see that  |

| My son's miniature pinscher Dino was notorious for eating those baby birds. Yuck!
He scavenged our large farm yard for fallen babies after storms every spring. The deader and nastier the better. He actually got fat every spring from doing this! He never got sick, or had any trouble with the little bones or sprouting feathers. Now son Travis lives in town with his GF and Dino - and he doesn't have the chance to be scavenger like here. Dino is about 10 pounds, so I would think a sheepdog would be fine.  |

Todd used to say we were lucky he wasn't a 50 pound dog......  |
Oh yum, it was nice and gooey.....................aaacccckkkk 
Doggie digestive juices have a pH at least 100 times more acidic than ours.....if you figure we are pH 3 ish and they are pH 1.7 to 2.something. Watch her but generally I wouldn't stay up nights with her. If there's a problem she'll barf it back up. Still watch her. The same thing happens here......tho not as well "sun baked" as yours was. Birds fall into the dog's front water tub. I dump out the water and the bird floats off. Before I can get a bag to pick up the bird, it's consumed by a K9 Kid.......it varies. |
From a sheepie owner who one girl ate a dead parrot whole, no problems there was 3 days later she chucked up a neat pile of rainbow feathers in the house, the rest digested real well. 
Another sheepie it was an ancient rotten bird egg, she delighted me with a few hours later chucking it up inside and me nearly joining her. 
Both were fine after finding their special treats in the yard  |

Chucking rainbow feathers was a very funny visual for me. Still laughing. |

As we would say in Scotland a rather multi coloured lumpy chuckle. |
