ABSTRACT
A 4-year-old, neutered male Husky-mix dog weighing 29.4â
kg that reportedly ingested a mushroom most likely of the genus Amanita one day prior to presentation exhibited signs of diarrhea, vomitus, inappetence and progressively worsening lethargy. Clinical chemistry revealed hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, decreased prothrombin and thromboplastin time, as well as increased liver enzyme activities. Despite hospitalization and supportive therapy over a period of 3â
days the dog's general condition worsened leading to euthanasia. The pathomorphological findings were characterized by hemorrhage in several organs, hemorrhagic ingesta, icterus, and marked hepatic cellular necrosis.
