Immediate Action:
1. Remove the Mulberries: If possible, check the dog's mouth and remove any remaining mulberry flowers or parts.
2. Observe the Dog: Monitor the dog closely for signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, or difficulty breathing.
3. Contact Your Veterinarian: Even if the dog is not showing any immediate symptoms, it is recommended to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible.
Symptoms to Watch Out For:
Mulberry flowers contain a substance called morin, which can be toxic to dogs in high doses. Symptoms of mulberry toxicity may include:
- Gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea)
- Central nervous system depression (lethargy, weakness)
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Liver failure
- Kidney failure
- Death
Treatment:
Treatment for mulberry toxicity depends on the severity of the dog's symptoms. It may include:
- Activated Charcoal: This can help absorb the toxin from the dog's digestive system.
- Emetics: These can be used to induce vomiting, if the dog has recently ingested the mulberries.
- Intravenous Fluids: These can help flush the toxins from the body and support electrolyte balance.
- Liver and Kidney Function Monitoring: The veterinarian will likely monitor the dog's liver and kidney function to ensure they are not being affected by the toxin.
- Supportive Care: This may include rest, pain relievers, and anticonvulsants, as needed.
Prevention:
- Keep mulberry trees out of reach of dogs.
- If mulberry trees are present in your yard, supervise your dog when they are outdoors.
- Remove any fallen mulberry flowers from the ground.
Note: The severity of mulberry toxicity depends on the size of the dog, the amount of mulberries ingested, and the individual dog's sensitivity to the toxin. It is always best to err on the side of caution and seek veterinary attention if you suspect your dog has eaten mulberry flowers.
