Algae can kill dogs ( so if you think there is even a chance it might be that then its off to an emergency vets like tonight )

 

Blue green Algea poisoning

Some cyanobacterial blooms can look like foam, scum, or mats on the surface

of fresh water lakes and ponds. The blooms can be blue, bright green, brown, or red and may look like paint floating on the water.

It will be fatal is treatment is not saught very quickly - vomiting is the main symptom

just spoke to the vet she has said just keep an eye on her make sure she doesnt loose conciousness un rousable check for excessive salivatation currently she is looking ok if you whistle she wakes up but doesnt come to you just looks so she might just be feeling sorry for herself... thanks for your help rob

Bless her - yes the water with algea does pong horrid when the bloom rots away.

Hope she is soon feeling much better.

Would give her something very mild to eat for a couple of days like boiled rice and cooked chicken.

Just until her stomach recover from it all.

The vet can give you activated charcoal to soak up the toxins and make her feel better.I hope she perks up soon.
