Just a reminder if you live in the NW and make a trip to the coast. This cheit will kill your dog! One of mine just now getting over what is being treated as salmon poisoning. 3 days in the hospital. $$. Very rough on a dog. If up to a week after visiting the coast they start diarrhea, maybe vomiting.. then not eating/drinking... Get them to a vet ASAP.

Went through this twice with my golden. Good old garbage gut retriever/lab. A friend of mine also from Oregon just went through this a couple weeks ago. It’s no joke and will quickly get expensive. After the second time my golden had it the vet gave me enough medicine to treat the third time if needed. Thankfully I never needed it. Tons of misinformation about dogs becoming immune once they get it. NOT TRUE.

Explain please.
Dogs can't eat salmon? Or just too much?
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Salmon poisoning is a parasite dogs can get from eating raw anadromous fish. Usually only an issue along the west coast streams and rivers. Pretty much deadly if not treated and very expensive if not treated quickly.

^ Yep. 6 years ago a different Lab of mine got it. I hadn't been near the coast.. best I can figure it was from a buddy having cooked some salmon fillets. A drop of blood must have hit the ground and the dog licked it up. VERY nearly lost the dog, cost me thousands of $.

No issue for humans?
The best thing about the 'fire for me is this. I have learned so much stuff from outside my sphere, it's amazing. Useless for me maybe, but darn interesting.

Dillonbuck Nope, no issue for us people. It's one of the peculiarities of living near the coast from northern California to Alaska.

^ That makes sense as I think salmon are sometimes fed to team dogs. Looked up distribution of the disease and found this:
"Geographic Distribution: Coastal areas of Washington, Oregon, northern California, British Columbia, Brazil (2004)"

That was interesting... another critter has had a name change since I went to school... Vector was not Nanophyetus salmincola, but Trogalatrema (sp?)salmincola. And the bacteria it carries is the real problem. Lost a Brittany to it while in college.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Thank you Ribka! I took her out this morning for what turned out to be a peak goose experience. She was absolutely on fire this morning, just perfect. I was so impressed. A buddy and I filled our two-man limit of Canada geese by 10:30. Six small Cackling and two larger Lessers. We were right on the X. At one point there were 2000 - 4000 geese on the grass in front of us, the sky just seemed filled with them pouring in. Jules sat perfectly still, never made a sound. Her best retrieved today was after a wounded Lesser. It was flying horizontally about 3 ft off the ground. Jules was in full speed pursuit behind it. At about 250 yards out she jumped into the air and grabbed it by the ass! Boom! Asleep in her bed now, one more day of antibiotics to wrap up the salmon poisoning treatment. I'm a very, very grateful fella today. 350z wallpaper

I almost lost a lab pup to it years ago. It was from a trout. Poor pup was sicker than hell and yes the vet bill was expensive.

Yes. One of those things where some fish are carriers and others of the same guild are not. One may get through several sessions with fish and dogs and on the 10th go around, down they go.

She chewed the head off a steelhead I caught. Took her to the vet immediately and got her on antibiotics, she recovered none the worse for wear.
