My dog ate unknown mushrooms and got sick. Should I see a vet?

Question

He ate a few mushrooms today before I could get them out of his mouth he swallowed them. I’m the forest not sure what type of mushrooms they were tbh. About 39 minutes later he started to get super slobbery/foamy, and had diarrhea and vomited several times. In one of the times he vomited I saw the mushrooms come out. that was at about 10:45 AM it’s now 1:30 PM the vomiting and diarrhea has stopped. He’s been drinking water and is sleeping now. no more foamy mouth. Advice/scenarios? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 2 months and 27 days old | 68 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am concerned that because he vomited so many times and had diarrhea, he could be very dehydrated. Also, mushrooms can result in liver toxicity in dogs that tends to be significant. Even if he vomited some of it, there is still likely some left in his system. I think it would be best to have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check some basic lab work to check for signs of liver toxicity and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!
