no idea but found this info looking around.
Quote:
Mushroom toxicity does occur in dogs and it can be fatal if certain species of mushrooms are eaten. Amanita phalloides is the most commonly reported severely toxic species of mushroom in the US but other Amanita species are toxic. They can cause severe liver disease and neurologic disorders. The recommendation is to induce vomiting when these mushrooms are ingested and to give activated charcoal, as well. Supportive treatment for liver disease may also be necessary.
There are probably species of mushrooms with less toxicity but enough to induce the milder symptoms you are seeing. Inducing vomiting would still be a good idea, I think, when these species of mushroom are eaten. It is possible to induce vomiting using hydrogen peroxide given in small amounts until the dog vomits or by using syrup of ipecac (it takes about 1 teaspoon of ipecac syrup per 10 lbs. of body weigh to induce vomiting, on the average so it can be hard to give enough of this --- and overdosage can cause heart problems so it does have to be measured). Apomorphine is a good choice for inducing vomiting, too -- but usually only available through your vet and it is pretty expensive.
I can't really think of a another cause for excessive salivation along with vomiting and diarrhea that doesn't involve some sort of toxin but it is possible that there is something else going on. It would be a good idea to talk this over with your vet on the next visit, so that he or she has these episodes in the medical history for future reference.
It is hard to stop dogs from ingesting odd things but you should keep trying to prevent mushroom ingestion, as well as you can.

Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms can occur in a very short time after your dog eats the mushrooms. At the most, symptoms will occur in several hours.
1. Sudden Dog Vomiting and/or Dog Diarrhea
2. The skin can start turning yellow (jaundice)
3. Obvious abdominal pain and/or [[Dog Swollen Abdomen ]] 4. Your dog may show signs of having Dog Lethargy
5. Seizures, similar to Dog Epilepsy, and coma can also occur
6. A noticeable increase in salivation
How a diagnosis is made
Your veterinarian is the only person who is qualified enough to properly diagnose mushroom poisoning. When the symptoms present you need to get to the vet quickly.
Blood tests will be performed on your dog and will be used to check for an increase in liver and/or kidney enzymes, which could potentially lead to Dog Liver Disease or Dog Kidney Disease. These can appear within a day after ingestion.
Low potassium and blood sugar will also be evident. These tests may not appear to be specific for mushroom poisoning, but combined with the other symptoms, a diagnosis can be made.
By inducing vomiting in your dog, the type of mushroom that they ate can be determined. This will be done if the symptoms and blood tests match the criteria of mushroom poisoning
Preferred Treatment Plan
Treatment will vary depending on what type of mushroom your dog ate. There are several treatment modalities that can be used:
1. Mushroom toxins can be absorbed by the administration of activated charcoal
2. Your vet will induce vomiting
3. Intravenous fluids will be administered if the vomiting and diarrhea do not stop quickly enough, so as to prevent Dog Dehydration
4. If your dog is having seizures, they will be treated by the vet with medications that are specific for seizures
5. If your dog has liver or kidney failure, a lifetime of medication may have to be administered
IMO i would get the dog to throw up ASAP.

How To Induce Vomiting
Now that we know the When, let's work on the How of inducing vomiting in dogs who have swallowed something dangerous.
You want to make it as easy as possible for your dog to vomit. Some food in her stomach will make it easier for her. Feed her a slice of bread or a few crackers. Or try a tablespoon or two of dog food if you don't feed her "human" food.
Follow these steps.
Into a small bowl, glass or mug, pour some three percent hydrogen peroxide from the bottle in your first aid kit (see Dog First Aid Supplies for more information on creating a dog first aid kit) or from the bathroom.
Using the 10 cc syringe from the kit, draw up about 3 cc's for every 20 pounds (approximately 9 kg) of your dog's weight.
Open her mouth slightly and insert the end of the syringe. Squirt a steady stream of the hydrogen peroxide toward the back of her mouth, which will force her to swallow it.
Wait ten minutes. If she hasn't yet started to vomit, repeat steps 2 and 3.
Call your vet immediately if she doesn't vomit after the second dose.
You can also do this by using syrup of ipecac instead of hydrogen peroxide.
Follow the directions closely. Do not give more than is recommended for your dog, and do not give it twice.
Your dog may start vomiting and not be able to stop after you give her ipecac syrup, so be prepared to take her to the clinic for follow-up care.

How to Induce Vomiting in a Dog
There are several methods that a veterinarian or poison control center staff may recommend.
The following is among the most common and effective methods for inducing vomiting in a pet at home:
Feed the dog blackened toast: This will help neutralize some of the toxins, while also absorbing some of the poison. It’s much easier to induce vomiting when there is substance present in the stomach. Achieving emesis in a dog with only fluids in the stomach is more difficult. Give 3% Hydrogen Peroxide: Within five minutes of feeding the toast, give the dog one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide per each 5 to 10 pounds of body weight. Repeat if vomiting has not occurred: Give the dog ten minutes to vomit. If vomiting does not occur, give another dose of hydrogen peroxide. Repeat up to three times until the dog vomits, which typically occurs within 10 to 20 minutes of the initial dose of hydrogen peroxide. Get the pet to the veterinarian as soon as possible: Vomiting will only remove 40 to 60 percent of the stomach’s contents. And the more time that has elapsed, the more toxin the body will have the opportunity to absorb. Additional measures such as giving activated charcoal, or pumping the dog’s stomach may be necessary, combined with supportive care to help minimize the effects of the toxin.
In the event that there is no hydrogen peroxide available, vomiting can be induced using table salt by following the same method. The approximate dose is one large teaspoon of salt per 15 pounds of body weight.
Other substances, such syrup of ipecac can also be utilized to induce vomiting, but this method should only be employed under the explicit direction of a veterinarian.
Dr. Levine cautioned, “Ipecac is one of those substances that can be toxic in and of itself. If used incorrectly, a well-intentioned dog owner can end up killing their dog, so it’s vital that if you keep ipecac on-hand, you only use it under a veterinarian’s supervision. And be ready to rush your pet to the vet, because once vomiting starts, it usually doesn’t stop easily when ipecac has been administered. So supportive care is almost always necessary to ensure a complete recovery.”

That's for toxic mushrooms though. That dose definitely won't be life threatening in the general sense. Not unless the dog has some underlying issues. But the dog does not know what drugs are. It doesn't know what it means to trip. It didn't read trip reports and prepare for the experience. This is an enormous mind bending dose, and your dog will have absolutely no idea why the whole world is dissolving around it. It's very possible your dog can leave this experience completely traumatized. It might never be the same. It may not die from the direct physiological effects of the drug, but if it needs to be put down after becoming a violent terrified mess, it's death will be on you.
People like you are the reason drugs are illegal. If people like you had even a shred of responsibility, half of the incidents that politicians use to lobby against drugs would never have happened.

Quote:
Psilocybin and psilocin Because of its popularity as a recreational drug, this group of mushrooms, know as hallucinogenic or magic mushrooms, occasionally causes poisoning in dogs.3 Important genera involved in poisoning include Psilocybe, Panaeolus, Copelandia, Gymnopilus, Pluteus, and Conocybe.9 The principal toxins in these mushrooms are psilocybin and psilocin, which have LSD-like properties. 9 These compounds typically produce a transient (less than 12-hour duration), dysphoric, and sympathomimetic syndrome. Coingestion of other drugs of abuse such as LSD, PCP, and marijuana is common in people and is a potentially important consideration in veterinary patients.9 Common clinical signs, which develop a half an hour to four hours after ingestion, include anxiety, aggression, disorientation, visual hallucinations (e.g. following and biting at imaginary flies, pointless barking), weakness, mydriasis, tachycardia, and hyperreflexia.3,9 Hypertension, hyperthermia, or convulsions may occur, and patients may become comatose in cases of extreme overdose. However, trauma caused by altered behavior is usually the greatest and most immediate threat to life.
Treatment. Emergency GI decontamination in a conscious patient poisoned by these mushrooms may be difficult because of the patient’s altered behavior and aggression. An easier option may be gastric lavage after anesthesia and placement of a cuffed endotracheal tube.9 The main potential difficulty associated with anesthesia is the induction because of the dysphoric, and potentially aggressive, mental state of the patient. Prior sedation with a benzodiazepine (0.5 to 1 mg/kg diazepam intravenously or 1 to 4 mg/kg rectally) or an alternative induction technique, such as using an induction chamber, may be required. The use of induction chambers carries with it the increased risks associated with decreased access to the patient, so their use with dysphoric patients requires careful clinical judgment. Treatment usually consists of supportive care. Since the most immediate concern is preventing accidental trauma, often the most successful supportive care is placing the animal in a quiet, dark, padded cage in the presence of its owner.9Warn the animal’s owners and handlers of the potential for aggressive behavior. If sedation is required, a benzodiazepine (0.5 to 1 mg/kg diazepam intravenously or 1 to 4 mg/kg rectally) can be administered.

I recommend inducing vomiting to avoid mental distress and poisoning, especially if its a large dose or small dogs. Either way, care for the dog the way you would for a friend that is on a bad trip, no loud noises, lots of love and affection, soothing words, warmth, water.
Two puppies, each two months old and less than 10 lbs, or 4 kilos, together ate 2 grams of mushrooms that they found in a pack of seeds that was unfortunately in the puppies' reach. After research, I induced vomiting by a little less than one teaspoon (4.5 ml) of table salt on the back of each of their tongues. (the amount is dictated by their size) I did this one at a time with the pups initially separated. The first pup took about 2 or 3 minutes to throw up. She was scared and shivering afterwards and I petted her and told her it was ok the whole time. The second pup I did the same to, without separating the pups, and the second pup took less time to puke. I let them both puke until they were done and the mushrooms were definitely visible.
Afterwards, I brought them inside. The smaller pup was trembling and didn't want to be outside of human contact. The bigger pup was full of energy and wanted to bite at my hand a lot. I let her do so while the smaller pup was curled on my lap. I stroked them and said everything's going to be fine, with no loud music on and the heater on (it's the middle of winter.) About an hour after this happened, the bigger pup was calmer but wanted to be caressed and held as well. They were both scared and appeared to not know what was happening to them. I sat on the floor and let them both curl in my lap and they slept for a little bit. I gave them water about 2 hours after the initial vomiting and they really appreciated it. About 3 hours after the incident, they were back to almost normal but still wanted to be close by me. They got fed and ate ravenously. It is now 4 hours after the incident and they are both sleeping on my lap. Ill keep them close by and monitored for the next day or so, and hope that they will be ok.
