Well, I'm getting quite a long list of things Trouble has ate but last time she was in the boat she ate a whole layer of salmon eggs. Now granted these where only sockeye eggs so it wasn't that bad. If it was the prized KING eggs from luv2fish she wouldn't need to worry about getting sick because I would ring her neck.
This dog seams to have an iron stomach because she has also chowed a glade plug in air freshener. The stink part is what she ate. I'm talking gone as in nothing left 
Anybody ever had a dog come down with this poisoning? What should I watch for as far as sypmtoms?
and before any of you smart ass say it..... The plug in did not make her ass burps smell better

my lab ate raw salmon as a pup and got the runns soo bad he would go every 5 mins,he couldn't hold it and got really bad coat and lathargic, after a month or so we ended up finding a medicine that worked we ended up having to give him this powder over his food, hes a bit over a year and still ok as long as he gets his meds, but we thought we were going to loose him for a bit.

From her eating habits, it sounds like there might be a goat or two hiding in Trouble's family tree.

I have a lab/heeler that eats anything, and passes everything she eats. 2x4's are her favorite. My backyard, office, laundry room, etc are littered with shreds of wood. She chews the dang things down to nothing more than soggy toothpicks. Nothing makes her sick
Things she's eaten
Plastic toys
Wood (any shape or size, she just chews it down)
Baseballs
Nerf footballs
'Indestructable' (yeah right) heavy duty chew toys
Corkies, yarn bags, small plastic tackle boxes,
Micro Jigs (yeah - that one really scared me too - no ill effects and she passed em...)
Trampoline frame pads
Fish skins - oh she loves those, but watch out for the backside burps if there was BBQ sauce on em. OY that's nasty.

Doesn't decomposing salmon flesh grow a bacteria that can be leathal to dogs? Seriously. I have heard its the same thing that if you break the skin on your hands while cleaning a fish will cause your knuckles to be painful & swell...I think.

Some dogs can have a very severe reaction to eating salmon, just licking it can create problems. The dogs we have now appear to have no problems chewing, eating and rolling on old dead salmon, but we've had a couple that did. They got very sick and even had to stay at the vet for a few days.
lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea are some of the things to look for.

I've read over and over that it is a rather slow progression, so I wouldn't imagine that you wouldn't notice somethings up. I'd find a 24 hour vet in your area or at least a vet with an emergency number just in case you ever need it.

I can't take my dog near a river if there are any dead fish around. She will find them, eat them, and roll in them. The few times she's got some down she was fine.
A friend of mine lives on the Stilly. The two dogs he used to have both ate dead chums, got really sick, and never tried to eat it again.
Scariest thing my dog has eaten is an SOS pad. I only knew because she threw it up later. Now that she's getting up in age her drive to eat various types of [**whoops**] (cow [**whoops**], horse [**whoops**], etc.) is decreasing.

This can't be healthy. All this fishing is really messing with my head.

Southfork thats funny.. most stuff in egg cure is also used to preserve foods or do laundry... just in higher doses. She should be foaming at the mouth, get the runs and a slick coat from the oils in the eggs. Maybe you should let her "cure" your bait... tootsie roll fishing at its finest.

SF, if Trouble gets the above symptom, runs, won't eat or drink, and just wants to lay around, get her to the vet. My lab raided the trash can a few years ago and snacked on salmon carcasses. he damn near died; the vet gave them (the shorthair had some too) antibiotics that cured the illness.
I'm sure Gooose will correct me if I'm wrong, but as I recall there is a parasite which uses salmon as an intermediate host. When a mammal, such as a dog, eats the infected salmon, it's 
I have heard conflicting stories that if a dog gets it once it is immune for life, others that they can get it every year. Keep her out of the stuff and you won't have any worries (easier said than done, I know)

Yeller my Chesapeake got the salmon sickness when he was about a year old. We had a Daschund named Nosy Joe at the same time and they both got it.
Dad was down with a broken back from a Dead Topped fir he was falling on Ft Lewis and we had no money. Both dogs made it after about a week of being sick. They both got dehydrated and Grandma helped Mom fix that. I wish we could remember how. I learned how to check for it with the neck skin pull from that:)
Neither one ever got salmon sickness again, and Yeller fetched many a salmon for our table after that.
Funny, I wouldn't even eat some of the salmon we did back then because they would look so bad to me now. I never knew Salmon were silver colored until I went on a charter trip out of Westport when I was 15 or so with Grandpa. i thought they were all black and white and red
