Good morning everyone!! We hope you all are enjoying your summer and staying cool. Recently we have heard of the presence of very toxic mushrooms in parts of Colorado, and wanted to take some time to remind our clients of the dangers of mushrooms. While some are harmless, others can cause gastrointestinal upset, neurologic disease, or kidney and liver failure. In severe cases, ingestion can lead to irreversible damage and can even be fatal. Because it can be very difficult to differentiate these toxic mushrooms from other safer mushrooms, we recommend keeping pets from ingesting ANY mushrooms. If accidental ingestion occurs, please call our clinic or an emergency clinic immediately. Thank you all for helping to keep our furry family members safe and have a wonderful weekend!
