Puppy Survives Death Cap Mushroom Poisoning | Sacramento Kings News

A golden retriever puppy named Nala narrowly escaped death after eating a deadly death cap mushroom in her backyard—thanks to quick-thinking owners who used AI and online experts to confirm the danger and rushed her to the vet. With amatoxins that can cause liver failure within 24 hours and symptoms often appearing too late, these mushrooms are a growing threat in Northern California, where poisonings have surged this year. Nala received emergency treatment, including induced vomiting and activated charcoal, then was stabilized at UC Davis Veterinary Hospital. After four days of intense worry, she’s now home and fully recovered—her owners are now warning other pet owners to stay vigilant and avoid wild mushrooms entirely.
