Beware of wild mushrooms 🍄 growing around your home this time of year. There are 4 main categories of mushrooms to watch out for.

🍄hepatotoxic mushrooms are the most toxic. Owners may see their pets nibble on this mushroom but do not become concerned because their pet looks fine after. 6-24 hours later, GI symptoms start to occur. Mild stomach upset can progress into liver failure if not treated immediately.

🍄 neurotoxic and nephrotoxic mushrooms affect the nervous system and potentially the kidneys and liver as well. Signs include weakness, lack of coordination, tremors, hallucinations, vocalization, disorientation, agitation and Seizures.

🍄 gastrointestinal toxic mushrooms can cause GI upset, including vomiting and diarrhea. Out patient treatment may suffice but hospitalization is often required to restore fluid balance.

If you suspect your pet has eaten a wild mushroom, seek veterinary attention immediately. It's best to take a sample or picture of the mushroom with you.

You can also contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888)426-4435.
