Join Dr. Jesse Strong, DVM, DABT to learn all about mushroom exposures in cats and dogs! Most mushrooms cause stomach upset, but some can be deadly, making it difficult to know how aggressive treatment should be. While there are too many mushroom species to cover them all, this presentation will discuss the main categories of toxic mushrooms that can be found in the United States and Canada.

This presentation will cover diagnosis and treatment of different types of toxic mushrooms, including tips on how to get mushrooms identified, as well as how to treat unknown mushroom exposures. Join us for a virtual foray into the wonderful world of fungi!
