Probably nothing. If anything, he might throw up later, like they do when they eat grass. Did he seem to like it?

Thats funny

What kind/size dog is he?
A lot of dogs, especially bigger breeds, have stomachs like iron. They can eat just about anything. If it's something that disagrees with them, it usually doesn't stay in their stomach long enough for their body to absorb it.

hes a greyhound,65# they have very sesitive stomachs just changing food brands give them the runs for a few days. as long as the mushroom wont poison him i can deal with it. i didnt think they were as bad as palys/zoas.

I dont think you will have an issue however I would PM reefkprZ and ask. Also make certain there were no zoa polyps of any kind that were part of your dogs snack. This can be deadly...

I don't know much about that breed morval. He sounds like my poodle, sensitive. I can't change his food brand either. But my lab (outside) can eat a terd and not think twice. I have not heard of a yuma being poisonous though. Maybe one of our vets on here will see this and chime in.

Hahah, just make sure you check the ground before you step out of bed.

ive got a whippet and when he was a pup he had the same eating problem hed eat his whole bowl in less than 10 seconds....rediculous....then throw it right back up.
we used rocks (obviously cleaned) to slow him down because he couldnt move them.
dogs can eat some weird things and be okay.
my old dog ate a pound of butter, a whole bowl of blue berries, countless pounds of chocolate. put him to rest at 16 1/2 lol i think he did damn good.
