If an animal or rodent dies in the pool do you need to do anything extra to sanitize the pool?
I called our pool supply store after we found a mole in our pool and their advice confirmed what I had already believed. You need to shock your pool. Rodents carry rabies, among other things!

You do not need to remove it.

What do you do if you find a dead squirrel in your small pool?
The pool is probably contamiated now, because there/is a dead carcass in it. First remove the squirrel, and dispose of it. Then you will need to cleanse the pool, a bleach solution should do the job. I would try and figure out why the squirrel fell in the pool, but whatever or you can call animal control like your supposed to Not all municipalities would send someone to remove the dead animal. After it is removed you will need to "shock" the pool with the chemicals that are ordinarily used (chlorine). The amount used depends upon the size of the pool, calling a store that handles pool chemicals or the city or county health department can obtain the information needed to solve the problem.
How can you make your pool safe for swimming if there was a dead decomposing armadillo in it when it was uncovered?

Can you swim in pool after finding dead chipmunk?
Is the pool full or empty? Depends how long they were in there. If it was just overnight, no big dal. If it was a week, I would shock the pool. Pool Masters.
Do you still have to add shock each week with the salt systems?
Salt pools still require weekly shock maintenance, but not near the amount that a chlorine pool would need. There are Salt Pool Shock Treatments out there for your particular pool setup.
Do you shock a pool or backwash pool first?
Backwash first then shock. If you shock and then backwash you will be throwing away the shock you just put.
How should pool water be treated after finding a dead frog in the pool?
First of all remove all remains of the cat. then super chlorinate it and leave it to filter for a day. check the chlorine levels and every thing should be OK after that. so long as the chlorine levels are correct the water should be properly disinfected.
