ACCEPTED

I sincerely doubt that it's the mouse that is making your puppy sick. You do have to worry about Lepto if he consumes rat droppings unless he has been vaccinated for it.

I don't think that the mouse is scaring him so bad that it's making him sick.

I would go ahead and see the vet tomorrow.
