Hi Malcom,
WRTdog poison from eating salmon, this is from Washington State
University, College of Veterinary Medicine:
"...Salmon Poisoning Disease is a potentially fatal condition seen in
dogs that eat certain types of raw fish. Salmon (salmonid fish) and
other anadromous fish (fish that swim upstream to breed) can be infected
with a parasite called /Nanophyetus salmincola/. Overall, the parasite
is relatively harmless. The danger occurs when the parasite itself is
infected with a rickettsial organism called /Neorickettsia
helminthoeca/. It’s this microorganism that causes salmon poisoning.
“Salmon poisoning occurs most commonly west of the Cascade mountain
range,” says Dr. Bill Foreyt, a veterinary parasitologist at Washington
State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. He adds, “Canids
(dogs) are the only species susceptible to salmon poisoning. That’s why
cats, raccoons and bears eat raw fish regularly with out consequence.”
Generally clinical signs appear within six days of a dog eating an
infected fish."

Additionally, it appears that salmonella was named one of the men who
discovered it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonella
And from the University of Wisconsin, School of Veterinary Medicine
there is this on salmonella:

In the past, salmonella poisoning of dogs was a rare occurrence except
in the PNW where the anadromous fish runs in winter left many carcasses
along the banks: salmon ~ ~ salmonella, trite but true.
Kind regards,
Craig
