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

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

Neurotoxic & Nephrotoxic mushrooms affect the nervous system and potentially the kidneys and liver as well. Signs include weakness, lack of coordination, tremors, hallucinations, vocalizations, 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 (of any kind), don’t wait. Contact Vista immediately. If you can, take a sample of the mushroom with you. This will help the vet determine how they can best help your pet. (916) 231-4445

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

Thanksgiving is almost here! While we’re excited about the delicious feast ahead, it’s important to understand which foods are toxic for pets.

Keep your cats and dogs away from:
- Stuffing – as it may contain onions or garlic
- Ham and other Pork – can cause pancreatitis, upset stomach, or diarrhea
- Turkey – Dogs should only have a little bit of meat, no skin or seasoning
- Turkey Bones – splinters may cause indigestion or bowel obstruction
- Mashed Potatoes – may have been prepared with butter and dairy
- Salads with Grapes/Raisins – can cause kidney failure
- Chocolate Desserts – toxic to both cats and dogs

If you suspect your pet has eaten something toxic this holiday, give us a call. Our information is below, and we will be open 24/7 on Thanksgiving (and every day!).

November is .

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), 50% of dogs over age 10, and 25% of all dogs will develop cancer. Although there is less information for cats, our feline friends also commonly develop cancer.

Cancer can develop in any body system. Symptoms vary according to the organs affected, but may include:
• A lump or mass anywhere on your pet's body
• Difficulty eating or chewing, or a decreased appetite
• Weight loss
• Persistent vomiting, drooling, or diarrhea
• Difficulty breathing
• Bleeding from the nose or mouth
• Abdominal swelling
• A wound that will not heal
• Limping or lameness
• Excessive drinking/urinating
• Straining to defecate or urinate

Other diseases may cause similar symptoms, but reaching a diagnosis as quickly as possible is important. Cancer will not resolve on its own and early detection is critical for successful treatment.

If you have any questions about your pet’s health, please contact your veterinarian.

We truly appreciate the trust you all put in our team. 💙
