Dogs & Shrooms

Mushrooms are a common sight in many parts of the world, and they can be a delicious and nutritious addition to the human diet. However, for dogs, mushrooms can be deadly.

There are many different types of mushrooms, and some of them are poisonous to dogs. The toxins in poisonous mushrooms can cause a variety of symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and liver failure. In some cases, mushroom poisoning can be fatal.

Dogs are attracted to mushrooms for a variety of reasons. They may be curious about the strange fungi, or they may be drawn to their smell. If you see your dog eating a mushroom, it is important to act quickly.

The first thing you should do is remove the mushroom from your dog's mouth. If you are not sure what type of mushroom it is, do not attempt to identify it yourself. Instead, take a picture of the mushroom and bring it to your veterinarian.

Once you have removed the mushroom from your dog's mouth, you should call your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will be able to advise you on the best course of treatment. In some cases, your dog may need to be hospitalized for treatment.
