Google Bard's answer
If your dog eats the flowers or leaves of a sagebrush, please take the following steps:
- Contact the veterinary hospital as soon as possible
The flowers and leaves of the rhododendron contain a poison called daphnetin. Daphnetin is a poison that affects the central nervous system and heart and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever, convulsions, and heart failure.
Therefore, if your dog has eaten the flowers or leaves of a sagebrush, contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. At a veterinary hospital, we will provide appropriate treatment depending on your dog's symptoms and weight.
- make you vomit
If your dog has just eaten flowers or leaves, you can induce vomiting to reduce the amount of toxin absorbed into the dog's body.
The method to induce vomiting is as follows.
- Stick your finger in the back of your dog's throat to induce vomiting.
- Put a regurgitant into your dog's mouth
- Put your finger in your dog's nose to make it feel like it's having trouble breathing.
However, making your dog vomit can cause injuries to your dog's throat and stomach. Also, there is no need to induce vomiting if there is nothing to vomit.
- Perform gastric lavage
At the veterinary clinic, your dog's stomach can be irrigated to flush out any toxins that have been absorbed into the dog's body.
Gastric lavage is performed in an appropriate manner depending on the dog's weight and symptoms.
- Administer activated charcoal
Activated carbon has the ability to absorb poison. At a veterinary hospital, activated charcoal may be administered depending on the dog's weight and symptoms.
- Treat according to symptoms
If your dog develops symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea after eating the flowers or leaves of the sagebrush, take the dog to a veterinary hospital for appropriate treatment.
The following methods are used for treatment:
- Administration of laxatives and intestinal remedies
- Administration of antibiotics
- Infusion via drip
- Administering drugs to support heart function
If your dog has eaten the flowers or leaves of a genus, it is important to visit a veterinary hospital immediately and receive appropriate treatment.
Also, the sagebrush is a poisonous plant for dogs, so be sure to remove it from your garden and indoors to prevent your dog from coming into contact with it.
