Potential Toxicity of Anacampseros and Avonia

Both Anacampseros and Avonia are succulent plants that belong to the family Anacampserotaceae. They are not typically considered toxic to dogs, but some species may contain mild toxins.

Symptoms of Ingestion

If your dog has ingested anacampseros or avonia, the following symptoms may develop:

  • Gastrointestinal upset (e.g., vomiting, diarrhea)
  • Lethargy
  • Loss of appetite
  • Skin irritation

Recommended Actions

1. Contact Your Veterinarian:

  • Call your veterinarian immediately to report the ingestion and discuss the best course of action.

2. Monitor Your Dog:

  • Observe your dog closely for any symptoms of toxicity.
  • Keep them away from other plants and ensure they have access to plenty of fresh water.

3. Induce Vomiting (Optional):

  • If directed by your veterinarian, you may try to induce vomiting.
  • Follow these steps carefully:
    • Give your dog a small amount (1-2 teaspoons) of hydrogen peroxide (3%) mixed with water.
    • Wait 15 minutes.
    • If your dog does not vomit within 15 minutes, repeat the dose.
    • Do not exceed three doses.

4. Home Remedies:

  • You can offer your dog activated charcoal to absorb any toxins that may have been ingested.
  • Mix 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal per 10 pounds of body weight with a small amount of water.
  • Give your dog the mixture orally.

5. Veterinary Treatment:

  • If your dog exhibits severe symptoms or the ingestion was significant, your veterinarian may administer the following treatments:
    • Intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration
    • Anti-nausea medication
    • Activated charcoal
    • Other medications as needed

Prevention

  • Keep Anacampseros and Avonia plants out of reach of pets.
  • Supervise your dog when they are in areas where these plants may be present.
  • Educate children about the potential risks of plant ingestion and encourage them to report any incidents.
