Did you know some wild mushrooms are highly toxic to pets and their owners? 🍄🐾

Recently, we’ve seen an increase in toxicity cases at our hospital—particularly involving mushroom ingestion. Many pet owners are unaware that certain mushrooms, even those growing in their own backyards, can be highly toxic to pets and potentially fatal.

One recent case we saw was 9-month-old Parker (pictured in the second photo). He was brought in for vomiting and a lack of appetite, and returned the following day with worsening symptoms. After running diagnostic tests, we performed a mushroom toxicity screen, which came back positive. His owners approved aggressive treatment, including a plasma transfusion, in hopes of saving him. Sadly, despite our best efforts, Parker's condition did not improve, and his family made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize him.

Signs of mushroom poisoning can present within 24-72 hours and can include:

⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Diarrhea
⚠️ Lethargy
⚠️ Seizures
⚠️ Jaundice or other liver failure symptoms
⚠️ Accute death

👉 If you suspect your pet has eaten a mushroom, don’t wait — contact us or the nearest emergency vet immediately. You can also post a photo on a Facebook mushroom identifying group to find out what kind of mushroom it is. (Linked below)

Your pet’s safety is our top priority. Let’s keep them safe this season! 💚🐶🐱

"No, Bella! That’s NOT a snack!"
Our pets are pros at sneaking snacks—but not everything they sniff is safe! This week alone we removed a few toys from a Frenchie's tummy, helped a Min Pin vomit up the 29.5 grapes he ate, and helped a curious puppy who got a fishing lure stuck to her lip.

Watch out for these naughty no-nos:
- Chocolate, grapes, onions, gum (with xylitol) – YUCK and dangerous!
- Socks, string, toys, bones – Not chew toys, more like vet bills!
Be a hero in your pet’s story:
- Store food safely
- Keep small stuff off the floor
- Call us if they munch something mysterious!

Let’s keep those tails wagging and bellies happy!

Today is Specially-abled Pets Day - a day to celebrate the resilient pets with unique needs that show us that love comes in all forms. 💙With the right care and support, specially-abled pets live full, happy lives, and we're honored to be part of their journey.

Meet Anzlee. She was brought to our hospital by a good samaritan at 8 weeks old with an eye injury. She had an enucleation of the injured eye and our CSR Azurdee fell in love with her little face and adopted her. Anzlee is now living her best pirate life and not letting her missing eye limit her 💜
