If your dog eats lily of the valley flowers or leaves, the following steps should be taken:
- Contact a veterinary hospital immediately
Lily of the valley contains a toxic substance called galicin, which can cause poisoning symptoms. Even if your pet does not show any symptoms, contact a veterinary hospital immediately, as the condition may become serious later on.
- Make a note of the amount and time you eat
Knowing how much and when your dog ate can help your veterinarian provide appropriate treatment. Also, let them know what type of lily of the valley they accidentally ingested and if there are any other poisonous plants nearby.
- Observe your dog
Symptoms of poisoning may include the following:
- Drool
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- Anorexia
- Loss of energy
- convulsions
- coma
If symptoms appear, take your cat to the vet immediately.
At a veterinary hospital, the following treatments may be provided:
- Administration of antiemetics
- Administration of laxatives
- Administration of activated charcoal
- Infusion therapy
- Administration of anticonvulsants
- Administration of antiarrhythmic drugs
If symptoms are severe, hospitalization may be required.
In addition, to prevent accidentally ingesting lily of the valley, please take the following measures.
- Keep dogs away from areas where they can eat lily of the valley, such as gardens and parks.
- Don't leave cut lily of the valley out so your dog can easily eat it.
- If you use lily of the valley flowers and leaves as potpourri or dried flowers, keep them out of reach of dogs.
