So sad. Thank you for the links. I thought that poisonous
mushrooms were rare until now. On a lighter note, we have a crazy Lab mix who
came to our house three years ago and is a fabulous example of no good
deed goes unpunished. In one incident he pulled away from my daughter on a walk
and crashed head first into the back door of a car, causing $500.00 damage.
There are just so many Mr. Wiggles stories in the family lore. last Spring he
started having bloody diarrhea and just acted weird-nicer and calmer : ) I
called our vet and he, knowing the dog, put him on Baytril injections for eating
indiscretions-a common problem with him. Two days later we caught him eating
mushrooms on the firewood and then again looking stoned. We cleaned them all
off, but were conflicted, as the past few days had been so much more peaceful at
our house. We never realized how dangerous they actually were! We are grateful
to the people who warned us and so sorry for those who have been effected by
this tragedy. One wonders that this has not been more publicized as children, as
well as pets could easily be poisoned.
