Mushroom poisoning in dogs

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: Our golden retriever ended up in the pet-hospital emergency room. We found her in the kitchen, drooling profusely and surrounded by vomit and diarrhea. As my husband rushed her out the door, I stayed to clean up and called him when I noticed pieces and whole mushrooms in the vomit. She had mushroom toxicity from mushrooms she had found growing in the backyard after a lot of rain. We were lucky we found her in time! — Laura D., via email

Unfortunately, it can take as little as one poisonous mushroom to be fatal! Readers, be sure to regularly check your yard for mushrooms and remove them when found. Make it a habit, like cleaning up after your pet. Place a bag over your hand and pull the mushrooms completely out of the ground. Don’t hit the mushroom, or it can send more spores into the air, causing more mushrooms to grow! — Heloise
