I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!! 🎶🤠
Another dog with a serious case of “I eat dumb things”! He likes to eat plants, including but not limited to, a mushroom in the ground.. landing him a visit with us! Thankfully his awesome human brought in parts of the mushroom and we were able to identify the mushroom as non-toxic!
CASE TAKEAWAYS FOR PET OWNERS:
💯- If your pet ingests something, it is always a good idea to bring it to the vet for assessment (if there’s anything left of what they ate)!
🍄- Mushrooms and other houseplants can range from GI upset to highly toxic and fatal. Identification of them can be very challenging at times. Be aware of the plants you have at home or in your yard/neighborhood.
💵- If you adopt a pet that seems to eat anything and everything, we highly recommend pet insurance!! Getting it BEFORE they are diagnosed with a serious issue (like toxicity or GI obstruction) is important for insurance covering their care! There’s tons of pet insurance options, most of which are great! We often mention Trupanion as they recently changed the game by offering up to 90% coverage of costs up front (rather than owner reimbursement). We are not affiliated with any pet insurance company.
