Pet Yellow Gums: Liver Damage & Food Toxicity
Yellow gums or yellow tinge to skin/eye whites means liver damage — a late sign of severe toxicity (xylitol, mushrooms, blue-green algae).
Severity: emergency
Immediate emergency. Go now.
Understanding yellow gums (jaundice)
Once jaundice appears, the liver is already significantly compromised. This is a critical-care situation.
Home care
None — go directly to the ER. Bring any product packaging.
