At about 12 midnight that night, Bella was definitely better and looking like she didn't need to go in to the vet.

We took her on in to Dr. Rich at Cheek to Cheek Hospital for Animals then. I made the wrong call by not taking her on in even though she was doing better. We got her in about 5 a.m.
I hope I didn't send the wrong message out there about "Georgia". We do have emergency animal hospitals here! And Georgia is definitely not just some "hick" state located in the south! I apologize if I came across that way. I don't think that any of us realized that she had ingested a mushroom until a little later in the morning after her bloodwork came back. When it happened, after I discovered her eating something, I went and picked her up, and when I picked her up she vomited up something white. I may not have said that in my original thread, but knowing that she had already vomited is why I think they didn't induce vomiting. Believe you me, as a precautionary measure, I will now have syrup of Ipacac or hydrogen peroxide in the medicine cabinet from now on. And we case the yard frequently through the day to make sure we get all the mushrooms out that have popped up.
Princes Mom, do you have them in the part of Georgia that you are in? I am assuming you are in the Atlanta area. With this wet season we are having down here they are popping up everywhere.
