I'm sure you were joking when you wrote this (I hope), but as the owner =
of a 3 yr. old dog in chronic renal failure from ingesting something =
(probably a mushroom, but who knows) I can assure you this is not the =
case. Causes for renal failure in pets include eating/drinking lead, =
heavy metals, antifreeze (only a Tablespoon for small animals), pennies =
(it only takes one), toxic mushrooms, rat poison, and fertilizer. There =
are others, but I'm sure you get the idea. =20
