We have had a few cases of mycotoxin poisoning recently. Its not a poisoning that folks are generally familiar with, so we thought we'd share the information to raise awareness.-

Ingestion of mouldy food from the bin or a compost pile puts dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and even wildlife at risk for toxicity due to tremorgenic mycotoxins. These toxins may be found in MOULDY bread, pasta, cheese, nuts, or other decaying matter like compost. Clinical signs include vomiting, agitation, incoordination, tremors, seizures, and elevated body temperature. A specific mycotoxin called aflatoxin can even cause liver failure. Be sure to keep mouldy food and compost out of your pets reach!

So very sad to announce that Buddy Odell passed away on Saturday in Cheryl his mum’s arms, after a short illness. We have walked and boarded Buddy for 7 years and we are heartbroken to lose him. It’s been a privilege and so much fun to be a part of his life, thank you Cheryl and James 💕. Buddy will be sorely missed by the Golden Paws Gang ….in charge of security Buddy would usually spend some time viewing all gates from his vantage point on top of the picnic table. Plus was always ready to drive the van if needed 😀.
RIP LOVELY BOY 💔

We have been notified by the Veterinary Poisons Information Service and Animal PoisonLine that a poisonous plant is being used as decoration in a pot plant that can be purchased in garden centres and possibly florists.

The pot plant is Livistona rotundifolia (footstool palm; also known as Saribus rotundifolius) and pots of these plants are decorated with three fibrous balls. The balls are the skeletonised fruit of Cerbera odollam (su***de tree, pong-pong). Within each fruit is a kernel that is extremely toxic; a single kernel can be fatal if eaten and poses a risk to both pets and people. The toxic compounds in Cerbera odollam are cardiac glycosides, which are also found in foxglove, oleander, lily of the valley and other plants.

If you have these fibrous fruits in your pot plant, remove them and dispose of them safely. It you are worried your pet may have eaten the plant material contact Animal PoisonLine (01202 509 000)or the Birchwood team. 💚🤍
