If you believe your dog has eaten yew, take the following steps immediately:

1. Call Your Veterinarian or Animal Poison Control:

  • Contact your veterinarian or the nearest animal poison control center. They will advise you on the best course of action.

2. Induce Vomiting (if instructed by your veterinarian):

  • If instructed by a veterinarian, induce vomiting by giving your dog 1-2 tablespoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight.
  • Mix the hydrogen peroxide with a small amount of ice cream or milk to make it more palatable.
  • Do not induce vomiting if your dog is unconscious, has seizures, or has already vomited multiple times.

3. Monitor Your Dog Closely:

  • Observe your dog for any symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, seizures, or tremors.
  • Take note of the time, amount, and type of yew ingested.

4. Bring Your Dog to the Veterinarian:

  • Even if your dog has not shown any symptoms, it is crucial to take it to the veterinarian for evaluation.
  • Bring a sample of the yew plant (if possible) for identification.

5. Treatment:

  • Treatment will depend on the severity of the poisoning and may include:
    • IV fluids to flush out toxins
    • Activated charcoal to absorb toxins
    • Medications to control seizures or other symptoms

Warning Signs of Yew Poisoning:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Seizures
  • Tremors
  • Cardiac arrhythmias
  • Death

Yew Toxicities:

  • All parts of the yew plant are toxic to dogs, but the seeds and leaves are the most dangerous.
  • The toxic substance in yew is called taxine, which affects the heart and nervous system.
  • Symptoms can appear within minutes of ingestion.

Prevention:

  • Keep your dog away from yew plants.
  • Remove any yew plants from your yard or garden.
  • Teach your dog to leave toxic plants alone.
