HELP Mold!!

[rotts and roses]

I need to know if wet straw can be harmful to puppies who have not yet had shots. I bought a few bales of straw to put in the kennel for the puppies to lay on, but the inside of the bales were damp and have white mold growing in places, would this be harmful if the puppies chewed the straw or breathed the spores?I spread it out all over the ground of the kennel, but haven't put the pups in there yet. Please help

I'm no expert - but there's so many different types of mold, and some can be very harmful - causing permanent lung damage. I have a very rare and weird lung condition, and I did research on lung diseases - it's amazing how many are caused by various tyes of mold spores, very common in agricultural parts of the world.

No way for me to know if you have harmful or benign mold, but shots or no, I'd use the straw for mulch and get something absolutely dry and mold-free for the pups!
