Guess I too should clarify. I'm no tsaying feed'em a cark, then sit back for a week and say, "there, that'll teach ya!"

If your dog will be a fishing dog, or around you at all and you fish (in the boat, in the garage with fishing gear,etc.) it's inevitable, THEY WILL get salmon poisoning at some point or another. Hell, all they'd have to do would be lick your boot in the garage, and that little globby of blood from the floor of the boat...just got them sick.

What I'm saying is EXPECT IT, and learn signs and symptoms NOW, PRE sickness. If you have a lab, and it won't eat...something is wrong. Are they drinking more water than normal? No pooping? LETHARGY? If you have a puppy, that won't eat, and won't play? ding ding ding... look into it. Don't be affraid to take temps. too!

Every dog is different,(size, breed, sex, etc.) and will be effected differently. My 6 mo. old lab was mildly sick for 5 days before starting Rx treatment. Our current host had an old border collie, that was only sick 2 days before becoming VERY ill.

And it's never 'once and done' kind of sickness. KNock on wood, like browndog, 2 yrs now, and lots of fish contact, and no more sickness. Like chicken pox, supposed to be one and done... sometimes isn't. Don't think your pup is superman, and feed'em chunks, "because you can". Again...jsut pay attention to your dog in teh days following any exposure to salmonids (trout, steelhead, coho, 'nooks, etc...)
