Garbage Intoxication

Dogs will often eat carion, compost and other spoiled organic material that can expose them to various fungal toxins and other substances. 

Affected dogs can exhibit tremors, seizures, vomiting, and/or collapse. 

Treatment involves removing the material from the stomach, use of activated charcoal and cathartics, and, as needed, IV fluids, anti-siezure medications, etc.
