Iris Toxicity in Dogs
Iris plants contain a toxic compound called irisin, which can cause severe gastrointestinal upset and other health problems in dogs.
Symptoms of Iris Toxicity:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Loss of appetite
- Lethargy
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Kidney failure (in severe cases)
What to Do:
1. Remove the Plant:
- Immediately remove any remaining iris plants from the dog's environment.
2. Contact a Veterinarian:
- Call your veterinarian immediately and describe the situation. They will provide instructions and advise whether to bring your dog in for evaluation.
3. Induce Vomiting (if instructed by the veterinarian):
- If directed by your veterinarian, induce vomiting by giving your dog a teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. Repeat once if necessary, but do not exceed two doses.
4. Give Activated Charcoal (if instructed by the veterinarian):
- Activated charcoal can absorb toxins in the digestive tract. Follow your veterinarian's instructions for dosage and administration.
5. Monitor for Symptoms:
- Observe your dog closely for any symptoms of toxicity. If any symptoms develop or worsen, seek immediate veterinary attention.
6. Prevent Further Exposure:
- Keep your dog away from any potential sources of iris plants.
Additional Tips:
- Do not give your dog any food or water until you have spoken to your veterinarian.
- If your dog vomits or has diarrhea, offer small amounts of water to prevent dehydration.
- Note the time and dosage of any medications or treatments given to your dog.
- Bring the iris plant or a photo of it to the veterinarian for identification.
Prognosis:
The prognosis for iris poisoning depends on the amount of toxin ingested and the severity of the symptoms. If caught early and treated promptly, most dogs make a full recovery. However, severe toxicity can lead to organ damage and even death.
