Immediate Actions:
- Remove any remaining crape myrtle leaves or flowers: Keep the dog away from the plants and dispose of any ingested plant material.
- Contact your veterinarian immediately: Describe the situation and provide the veterinarian with as much information as possible, including the type of crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia spp.) and the amount of leaves/flowers ingested.
Symptoms to Monitor:
Symptoms of crape myrtle poisoning may develop within hours or days, depending on the amount ingested:
- Gastrointestinal distress (vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain)
- Lethargy
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Irregular heart rhythm
Treatment:
- Supportive care: Your veterinarian may administer fluids, anti-nausea medication, and pain relievers.
- Activated charcoal: This may be given to bind and prevent the absorption of toxins.
- Intravenous (IV) fluids: To maintain hydration and electrolyte balance.
- Monitoring: The dog may need to be hospitalized for close observation and treatment.
Prognosis:
The prognosis depends on the amount of crape myrtle ingested and the promptness of treatment. With prompt intervention, most dogs make a full recovery. However, in severe cases, crape myrtle poisoning can be fatal.
Additional Precautions:
- Crape myrtle plants should be kept out of reach of pets and children.
- If you suspect your dog has ingested crape myrtle, do not induce vomiting unless instructed by your veterinarian.
- Never administer human medications or remedies to your pet without consulting a veterinarian.
