she told CJS News.<br \/>\nDog owner, Penny Bowers says her dogs are regularly ill because they are eating bread left in parks.<br \/>\n&#8220;My dogs are scavengers so periodically they are ill from being in the parks.<br \/>\n&#8220;It could be a virus or something like that but I&#8217;m sure that often it must be mouldy bread or mouldy food that&#8217;s put out to birds&#8221;.<br \/>\nShe says although muzzles on dogs would physically stop them eating mouldy bread, that would be an extreme solution.<br \/>\nMs Fernandez says &#8220;people need to be more educated about what dogs can and can&#8217;t eat&#8221; and recommends calling the vet immediately if an owner suspects poisoning.<br \/>\n&#8220;It could be that the vet wants to examine the animal and check for first signs of sickness, tremors and neurological episodes that we would be most concerned about,&#8221; she said.<br \/>\nCats, horses and birds are also at risk from eating the toxin.<br \/>\nIn a statement, the RSPB UK says they &#8220;would advise that bread only makes up a small part of a bird&#8217;s diet and alternatives to feeding bread are oats, seeds and leafy greens such as lettuce and rocket, peas and sweet corn&#8221;.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pets are being poisoned in Cardiff by mouldy bread used to feed birds\u00a0says city vet Rebecca Fernandez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,6],"tags":[21,181,356,424],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-22795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest","category-news","tag-cardiff","tag-dogs","tag-roath","tag-rspb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mouldy bread used to feed birds &#039;poisoning&#039;
