ภาวะพิษจากเห็ด

Key Facts

• Most dangerous: Amanita species (death cap, destroying angel) -- cause fatal liver failure
• Signs vary by mushroom type: GI upset, liver failure, neurological signs, kidney failure
• Onset: minutes to hours (GI types) or 6-24 hours (liver-toxic types)
• Delayed onset (6+ hours) is a bad prognostic sign, suggesting liver-toxic species
• No reliable way for owners to distinguish safe from toxic mushrooms
• Treatment: decontamination, supportive care; liver-toxic cases may need intensive care
• Remove all wild mushrooms from yards where pets play
• Species: dogs (primarily; dogs eat mushrooms more readily than cats)
