Unhappy Mushrooms!

They are growing and even just a bit can be toxic and deadly for our pets. Please take care.

Default Great Advice!

Thank R-Gal for the heads up. That is really great advice as my last lab had a taste for wild mushrooms. My new lab Hailey has not shown the same taste as of yet but I will be careful.

If you happen to catch your dog eating a mushroom simply use a eye dropper to feed the dog about 2 oz of Hydrogene Peroxide. This will make the dog vomit. It is also a good idea to chase it with some atiivated charcoal.

My bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide has this warning:

"If Swallowed Get Medical Help Or Contact a Poison Control Center Rght Away." NB

Question: Is Hydrogen Peroxide recommended as an Emetic..OR and Antidote to Mushroom ingestion specifically...??

Emetic. Did it at the advice of our vet almost a year ago. Leslie thinks we may have cut it with equal parts water. The puppy is still alive and responsible for the distruction of thousands of dollars worth of property.

Arrow Peroxide Mixture

1 - 2 Tablespoons (can be mixed with water) of hydrogen peroxide for every 10 pounds of dog. A children's medicine dropper is a valuable to for administering.

Default Mushroom update

We will be coming up on Sat. August 24th and wanted to find out if there are still mushrooms growing. Our dogs love them and I spend quite a bit of time digging them out of the lawn to prevent another trip to Meridith emergency room at 3 am. Thanks

Unhappy Mushrooms

Unfortunately, they are still growing fast. Each day I go around the yard at least twice and get a sandwich bag each time. If we've been gone for the week, it has been a gallon bag full. It is mighty distressing how fast these little buggers grow. We are getting white, yellow, brown and now reddish mushrooms. Not at all sure which are poisonous to our canine kids. My pups don't seem interested in them, but it just isn't worth the risk.

One morning a few weeks ago, I let Harry out and went back in to get Khaleesi. As she went out I noticed a partially eaten 'shroom on the walkway near him. I could not tell if there were rodent chew marks or dog nibbles. What could I do? Poor Harry got a dose of peroxide. It was very upsetting to make him throw up, but I had to be sure he hadn't been poisoned. Thankfully, he had not eaten the mushroom. What a relief.

Thanks Rattlesnakegal. Since we live near the 'Mushroom Capitol of the Country' (Kennett Square, PA), we called a local mushroom grower and spoke to a mycologist about this issue. She said that spaniels, labs and goldens seem to be the breeds that may be attracted to the mushrooms. We asked about applying lime to our lawn (found this suggestion on the internet) and she said no and had no recommendations to control the mushrooms. We even asked if our septic leach field could be contributing to the toxicity of the mushrooms and she said no. We bought a cloth muzzle but haven't taken the time to train our dogs to wear it without freaking out.

lime does work. it needs to be put down in the fall and the following spring you should have no mushshrooms. mushrooms are a sign of acidic soil. my golden eats everything but funny enough no mushrooms.

surfnsnow,
Do you mean standard granular lime or the quick acting lime? Thanks

My dog doesn't care about the mushrooms, but is in hog heaven when she finds a fresh pile of deer poop. Wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many piles everywhere.

Default Mushrooms 2014 update?

How are the mushrooms this season? I am hoping that it is still too early and cool for them to show up yet.

Along the wood line last weekend there were quite a few of differing style. Nothing noted in the lawn itself, but I did see some really interesting looking ones though.
