Dog owners are posting heartbreaking warnings to others after their dogs died from playing in ponds infested with toxic algae.
Dog owners are now warning others of the danger that ponds hold toxic algae that can kill your pettake your pup to a local pond or lake for a swim to cool off
. But within hours of leaving the water, your dog is having a seizure, showing signs of motor skill loss, neurological damage, or liver damage. This is the heartbreaking reality that several dog owners have faced this summer after their dogs encountered toxic algae in the water and died. Now, they’re all trying to warn other dog owners of the danger.
Melissa Martin and Denise Mintz lost their dogs after letting them play together in a pond in Wilmington, North Carolina. The dogs, West Highland terriers Abby and Izzy and doodle mix Harpo, played in the water and rolled in the mud. But soon after leaving the pond, all three dogs started showing alarming signs of serious illness. They were rushed to an emergency vet, but within hours, all three of them had died.
“They contracted blue green algae poisoning and there was nothing they could do,” Martin wrote in a heartbreaking viral post on Facebook. “We are gutted. I wish I could do today over. I would give anything to have one more day with them.” Morgan Fleming had an alarmingly similar story out of Marietta, Georgia. She and her husband took their border collie, Arya, to a local lake for a swim on a hot day, and in the car on the way home, she started to get sick. They too rushed her to the vet, but they were told it was too late. Toxic algae exposure at the lake had made her too sick to save.
