Immediate Actions:
- Call Poison Control Immediately: Contact your local veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. They will provide expert guidance and treatment instructions.
- Induce Vomiting (if instructed by poison control): Only do this if directed by poison control. Use 3% hydrogen peroxide (1 teaspoon per 5 pounds of body weight) given orally. Do not induce vomiting if the dog is unconscious or having seizures.
- Rinse Mouth: If vomiting is not possible, rinse the dog's mouth with water to remove any remaining plant material.
Long-Term Management:
- Monitor the Dog Closely: Observe the dog's behavior, appetite, and any signs of distress.
- Provide Activated Charcoal: This can help absorb toxins. Administer as directed by your veterinarian.
- Intravenous Fluids: If the dog is dehydrated or has electrolyte imbalances, intravenous fluids may be necessary.
- Gastrointestinal Protectants: Medications such as Pepto-Bismol or sucralfate can help protect the digestive tract.
- Electrolyte Replacement: If the dog has diarrhea or vomiting, it may need electrolyte replacement solutions.
- Anticonvulsants: If the dog experiences seizures, anticonvulsant medications may be prescribed.
Potential Risks and Complications:
- Gastrointestinal Distress: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain
- Dehydration and Electrolyte Imbalances: If the dog vomits or has diarrhea extensively
- Seizures: Rare but possible due to the neurotoxic properties of adiantum
- Liver and Kidney Damage: In severe cases, prolonged exposure to adiantum can cause liver or kidney damage
Note:
- Adiantum is considered moderately toxic to dogs.
- The severity of symptoms can vary depending on the amount ingested and the individual dog's sensitivity.
- Early veterinary intervention is crucial for improving the dog's prognosis.
