Spoke with family vet and she said that a dog contracting the disease in Utah is virtually unheard of due to Utah lacking the snails that carry the parasite. *WHEW*! Thanks for the other posts, y'all kept my nerves in check until the vet got a hold of us.
And for those who are not aware. Canine's should NEVER eat wild RAW salmonid of any sorts from the Pacific Northwest. The wild salmonoids feed on snails that carry a parasite that is deadly to canines (does not affect many other species of mammal). The parasitic disease manifests itself within 4-5 days and an untreated canine will surely expire within 14 days.
