[Ditter]

My 1 1/2 year old Jack Russell named Tootie died last March from an aflatoxin. I don't know what she ate but the vet sent a specimen of her liver off for the test. She did die of liver failure from eating an aflatoxin. The vet explained that an aflatoxin is mold but we don't know what was moldy. I have other dogs and they all ate the same food and none of them got sick so I am thinking it was something she ate in the yard. I was heart broken.

My condolences on your dog. My friends Jack Russel used to kill and eat skunks and snakes he caught in the yard. He died suddenly too, but no autopsy was performed.

Henry likes to break out on trash day, he has eaten some pretty heinous stuff... Moldy bread and pizza by the pound. He eats the cat poop if he can get at it. I used to let him until I switched to that clumpy stuff as it makes him puke up all the cat poop, which is a worse cleanup job than sifting the litter box.

Sorry about your pup.

I am very sorry for your loss. I just adopted a Jack Russell and I love him to death. I wish I had known a little more about them first. He’s really a hand full, he thinks he’s a Pit Bull. They’re the Evil Knievals of the dog world, they’ll try anything once.
