Sempervivum Ingestion in Dogs
1. Identify the Type of Sempervivum:
- There are over 40 Sempervivum species, but the most common ones are houseleeks or hens and chicks.
- These succulents have fleshy, cup-shaped leaves that grow rosette-shaped.
2. Determine the Symptoms:
Most Sempervivum species are non-toxic to dogs. However, some may cause mild gastrointestinal upset if ingested in large amounts. Symptoms can include:
- Mild vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
3. Take Immediate Action:
- Call your veterinarian or animal poison control center immediately.
- Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a professional.
- Monitor your dog for symptoms.
4. Veterinary Care:
- Your veterinarian may recommend giving activated charcoal to absorb any remaining toxin.
- They may also prescribe anti-nausea medication to control vomiting.
- In severe cases, intravenous fluids or other supportive care may be necessary.
5. Home Care:
- Keep your dog hydrated by offering small amounts of water frequently.
- Feed your dog a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, for a few days.
- Avoid giving your dog any medications without consulting your veterinarian.
6. Prevention:
- Keep Sempervivum and other succulents out of your dog's reach.
- Supervise your dog when they are outside or in the yard.
- Train your dog to "leave it" or "drop it" if they start to chew on something.
7. Prognosis:
- Most dogs that ingest Sempervivum will recover fully with prompt veterinary care.
- However, the prognosis may be more guarded in cases where large amounts of the plant were consumed.
