Just a reminder, if your dog is endangered by mushrooms in your backyard or in close proximity then your family could be too. Check this out:

First and foremost, you need to contact a vet, as there is no real home treatment for toxic mushroom ingestion.    If there are any mushrooms left, you need to take one for identification purposes.    If you cannot locate more, the vet will often induce vomiting to try and identify which type of mushroom your dog actually ate.

Symptoms Of Mushroom Toxicity

If you suspect your dog has eaten a mushroom here are some of the common signs and symptoms to watch for:
◾Vomiting
◾Diarrhea
◾Abdominal pain
◾Lethargy
◾Jaundice (yellow skin color)
◾Seizures
◾Coma
◾Excess salivation

Although the symptoms can vary depending on which mushroom he actually ate, how many, and the size of the dog.

What To Expect At The Vet
Overall blood tests will be done to evaluate the health of your dog.  If the mushroom was toxic, your vet will notice high liver and kidney enzymes on the tests although they usually don't appear immediately. Low blood sugar and blood potassium levels will also be noticed.   These are not exclusive to mushroom toxicity but can certainly alert you to the possibility if you are unsure about why your dog is sick.

Other things you should possibly expect:

◾Induction of vomiting which we mentioned above
◾Activated Charcoal to absorb any toxins in the G.I. tract.
◾IV fluid therapy to help flush the system and maintain hydration
◾Treatment for seizures ( if applicable)
◾Treatment for kidney or liver failure ( if applicable)

The best we can tell you is to go through your yard every few days and remove any mushrooms at once, don’t let your pup wander around the neighborhood unsupervised, and if you decide to take a walk through the woods with Fido, where mushrooms can pop up near rocks and at the base of trees, keep him on a leash in suspect areas.

There is a way to also help your pooch, involving charcoal, and to check out that link please go over to Three Million Dogs. But truly, if you are worried have your pooch see their vet.
