If a dog or cat eats one or two dead moles, the anticoagulant type
poisons will not be likely to affect them, as these poisons have a
cumulative effect.
If the animal eats several dead, or live moles, containing poison
pellets in the stomach, over a period of time, the dog/cat may start to
show signs (gums bleeding, blood in the urine etc,) or, if these signs
go unnoticed, may simply bleed to death (usually internally).
Anticoagulant type poisons are far from safe to use around pets!
Sorry to get on my high horses, but I must reiterate Bill Shears
constant plea - don't use chemicals unless all other methods fail, and
unless it is absolutely necessary!
