Nanophyetus salmincola is a small intestinal fluke acquired by dogs when they consume raw salmon from the northwest. The disease exists only in the northwest. The parasite is mostly innocuous. However, within the parasite a more serious threat lives. Therapy for salmon poising involves supportive care including intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
Prevention involves avoidance of raw freshwater fish.
No therapy is recommended for infection with the fluke.
