So, we’ve been asked about what happened to our sweet Huey after our last few posts.
Here we are posting now to raise awareness!
You know those little mushrooms that pop up after some wet weather? 🍄 that’s what killed our baby.
****MORE TWEETS COMING****

If you’re worried your fur baby has eaten one, please don’t hesitate to get them checked! It only takes 3-5 days to kill your baby.
Huey showed no signs or symptoms of what these mushrooms can do, by the time he did, it was too late and he passed away at the vets on May 5th 2018

When I left for work at 1pm, he was his happy self running around with Arlo... when I came home at 6pm... he was bleeding from his bottom, vomiting phlegm, had minor movement and just was not himself. A phone call to the vet at 5 minutes late we were rushing to the vet clinic.

On arrival, he was examined tested for parvovirus etc. the vet decided on an x-ray... there, his whole little stomach was only gas, he had nothing inside, just gas. And nothing was going to save our boy. The vet determined he was on day 4-5 after eating.

Huey was kept in overnight, on multiple fluids, but passed away at 2:30am on May 5th. I received the phone call at 6:30am when the vets changed shifts. I was hoping the outcome was it helped but instead, we got the worst news.

If you see these in your yard, please pleas do your best to remove EVERY one of them, it was a simple mistake we made, just missing one and him only still being in puppy stage, he chose to eat anything and everything.
