HELP! dead animal in air duct system

My air vents were smelling badly ... pulled the NEW air-cabin filter and found rodent poop in it... How do I get the dead animal out of my air system?
Thanks!

Seen it happen a few times...rancid! Unfortunately they usually get caught up in the fan blower and they’re stuck in the blades. You probably need to take the dash apart and check the vents, blower, etc. soak with disinfectant...replace what you can’t get rid of the smell off of....light a candle for the lost soul
