Immediate Actions:
- Call your veterinarian or animal poison control center immediately. Provide the species, breed, weight, and symptoms of your dog.
- Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a veterinarian. Inducing vomiting can further irritate the stomach and intestines and worsen the absorption of the toxins.
- Keep your dog warm and calm. Do not exercise or agitate your dog, as this can increase heart rate and blood pressure, exacerbating the effects of the toxins.
Symptoms to Monitor:
- Dilated pupils
- Rapid heart rate
- Increased respiratory rate
- Dry mouth and nose
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Hallucinations or seizures
Treatment:
Treatment will depend on the severity of the ingestion and the specific symptoms present. Options may include:
- Supportive care: Oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration, and anti-nausea medications.
- Medications: Anticholinergics block the effects of the toxins at certain receptors in the body. Physostigmine is a specific antidote for datura poisoning.
- Decontamination: Activated charcoal can bind to the toxins in the gastrointestinal tract and prevent their absorption.
- Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove any remaining plant material or treat complications such as intestinal obstruction.
Recovery and Prognosis:
The prognosis for datura poisoning depends on the amount ingested and the promptness of treatment. With early intervention and appropriate care, most dogs can recover fully. However, some may experience lasting neurological damage or other complications.
Prevention:
- Keep all datura plants out of reach of pets.
- Familiarize yourself with the poisonous plants in your area.
- Train your dog to avoid eating plants they find outside.
- Contact a veterinarian or animal poison control center immediately if you suspect your dog has ingested any poisonous substance.
