Norri's concerned owner contacted us out-of-hours when she was experiencing bouts of vomiting that contained white mushrooms. Norri was also lethargic and not wanting to eat, a stark contrast to her usual playful self.
Our dedicated team provided immediate telephone advice and an appointment for Norri. Upon her arrival at the clinic, our team conducted a thorough examination, which included blood tests. These tests can be useful in diagnosing toxins based on their potential effects on organ function, as well as monitoring patient progression. To alleviate her symptoms, Norri was also administered an anti-sickness drug to help her feel more comfortable.
Given that the specific type of mushroom ingested was unidentifiable, we proceeded with precautionary treatments. Norri received fluid therapy, specific liver support therapy and activated charcoal, which is effective in absorbing ingested toxins. Norris's blood tests did initially show raised liver parameters, following a 3-night stay with our hospital team we are pleased to report that Norri made a full recovery.
We wish Norri all the best and remind all pet owners to contact their veterinary practice immediately if they suspect their pet has ingested something harmful.
