If your dog has eaten lilac flowers or leaves, try the following remedies.
- Observe your dog. If your cat exhibits symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, contact your veterinarian.
- You can induce vomiting within two hours of your dog eating lilac. To induce vomiting, consult your veterinarian or take anti-nausea drugs or emetics.
- If it has been more than 2 hours since your dog has eaten lilacs, you can perform a gastric lavage. Ask your veterinarian to perform gastric lavage.
- If your dog has eaten a lot of lilac, give him a laxative to flush out any remaining lilac from his body.
- If your dog doesn't show any symptoms within 24 hours after eating lilac, there's no problem. However, keep an eye on your dog and contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice any changes.
Lilac is toxic to dogs. The flowers, leaves, stems, and seeds are all toxic and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and convulsions.
The toxic components of lilac are cyanide and glycosides. Cyanide binds to hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to cells in the body, causing cell dysfunction. Glycosides are broken down in the gastrointestinal tract, causing symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting.
If your dog has eaten lilacs, it is important to take immediate action.
