Mushrooms come in all shapes, colours and sizes, and although some wild mushrooms are edible, many are poisonous. 🍄 Our emergency vets have seen an increase in cases concerning pets ingesting fungi, with over 30 in October alone!
If ingested by your pet, fungi can cause them to become seriously unwell, while some types can even be fatal. Due to the different varieties of mushrooms found outdoors, it is difficult to identify which are safe and which aren't. For this reason, it's vital to always treat wild mushroom ingestion as poisoning and to contact your vet immediately to ensure treatment starts as soon as possible. If your local vet is closed, you can contact your nearest emergency Vets Now Doncaster clinic.
