Moldy bread, pasta, nuts, cheese, and other stinky foods produce mycotoxins. A mycotoxin and aflatoxin can cause liver failure. Besides, symptoms include vomiting, agitation, tremors, seizures, coordination, and elevated body temperature. Please handle it quickly and appropriately to avoid consuming moldy food. The trash can should have a tight-fitting lid after you dispose of stale food if you don’t want your dog to have health problems.
