Since molds most often impact the kidneys, there really are no supplements that you could give Izzy to help get through this. The only thing that would help would be aggressive fluid therapy to flush the toxins out of the kidneys. If Izzy continues to be painful, nauseous or having ongoing seizures you should take her to the veterinarian right away.

    If you believe Izzy got into something toxic and is now having seizures it is best to seek veterinary care immediately. Feeding a grain-free diet or giving at-home remedies will not cure her or fix the problem. Toxicity can lead to long-term organ damage or failure and should be checked out by a veterinarian immediately, especially if she is showing signs such as seizures or nausea/vomiting.
