Title: ALERT ALERT Toxic Mold and tomatos Post by: chrispen on April 02, 2012, 03:38:36 pm My pup just Died from eating moldy tomatos. He ate them thursday and died this morning .
Systems just like Parvo.throwing up, diariea ,dehydration.Had him tested for parvo , results neg. I learned that tomatos are toxic for dogs when they are green and when they get moldy . The mold is a very bad toxin. and the leaves and stem are toxic to dogs and humans and can Kill both.Can you belive that. Any mold dogs eat except bread and cheese is toxic for dogs. Dont feed your dog moldy dog food either. I will miss my pup .He was very smart and house broken at 2 a half 3 monts old. He would talk to you with a little whineing voice. and rub and love on you. He tryed to fight it off. I got him to the vet this morning and he died in my arms. I know he was just a dog.But my dogs ae my children and I cryed like a baby. I am looking for a large male BMC to breed my gyp to. To get me a new pup. Man I have never had a dog die from eating scraps ,not that I know of antway. The tomatos were thrown outside in the comost pile. I seen him eat them and called him a crazy dog when he did it.I never thought it would kill him or I would have dug it out of his throt.

Title: Re: ALERT ALERT Toxic Mold and tomatos Post by: olde sarge on April 02, 2012, 06:37:29 pm Sorry to hear this. Spoiled tomatoes have killed many thousands of people over the last 100 years and the older people don't pass on the precautions to younger generations. Operate on the "If I wouldn't eat it I won't feed to my dog" principle and you will usually be all right. Botulism is the usual cause. Again sorry for your loss. John
