Salmon Poisoning
Salmon Poisoning 
Did you know that your dog could get diarrhea, dehydration, and depression from eating raw fish? It can cause salmon poisoning which is a life-threatening syndrome. Fresh water fish such as trout and steelhead can also carry the disease. Some free-swimming parasites called flukes carry deadly bacteria. The parasites can attach to your pet’s intestine, releasing the dangerous bacteria. They spread to many organs because the bacteria replicate in the intestinal lymph tissue and enter the bloodstream.
Symptoms:
1) Diarrhea, the diarrhea will be yellow or bloody. He or she could possibly vomit also. Severe vomiting and diarrhea can lead to dehydration.
2) Appetite loss, fever and depression. This usually begins to happen 5-7 days after ingestion.
3) Dehydration. Fluid loss associated with vomiting and diarrhea can cause your pet to drink large amounts of water. If untreated, severe dehydration can result in death.
4) Your pet’s lymph nodes could swell. You veterinarian can help detect this problem.
5) A clear nasal discharge could develop, causing sneezing. A thick discharge could also accumulate around your dog’s eyes.
If you notice any of these symptoms please bring you pet to their veterinarian for a complete examination.
Things that you can do:
1) Wrap any remains well and throw them away in trashcans with tight fitting lids when preparing fish.
2) When fishing do not bring your pets with you. If you must, then keep a close on them.
3) When taking your pet to the beach or river, keep them on a leash.
4) Never allow your pet to eat raw fish. If your pet does please visit your veterinarian as soon as possible. Your veterinarian could prescribe an antibiotic or dewormer to help reduce the severity of infection. Also bring in a stool sample to have checked.
5) Regular deworming from your veterinarian.
