Any suggestions for getting the smell of dead salmon out of a dog's
fur ? Anybody want to make an offer on an 18 month-old yellow Lab ? ;-)


Ken,
You may already know this, but you really need to be careful with dogs
around dead salmon. If they eat any, they can get a very nasty
parasite that will really make them sick. At least that's the case
with Pacific Salmon - may not apply to Great Lakes Salmon, but it
would be worth checking with a vet.


Thanks Bob, I had heard that and I'll keep an eye on her for the next
week. The rickettsial organism that infects the parasite that infects
the salmon and the parasite itself rarely occur east of the Cascades.
If she starts vomiting and diarrhea we'll go straight to the vet for
antibiotics and dewormers.
