As soon as you notice any sign of mushroom poisoning in your dog, you should go to the vet hospital immediately. The vet will work to lessen the effect of the toxin on the dog’s body. As soon as the dog becomes stable, the vet will then identify the poisonous mushroom by asking other experts. The local college or university could supply the information.
The vet will do various methods to flush out the toxins from the body:
- Induce vomit to expel the mushroom in the stomach
- Give activated charcoal to bind the toxin, and away from the digestive tract
- Use gastric lavage to remove the mushroom in the stomach
- Administer intravenous fluid to keep the optimum balance of water and electrolyte, and also to keep the dog hydrated
The vet's main goal is to remove the poison in the dog's body, as soon as possible. This is to prevent the toxin from further mixing in the bloodstream.
If your pet is showing any signs of toxicity bring him to the Vineyard Veterinary Hospital Temecula, CA immediately.
