Google Bard's answer
Hosta is a plant that is toxic to dogs. The components contained in the rhizome, such as Violin and Violinritin, can affect your dog's digestive system and nervous system, causing symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and arrhythmia.
If your dog eats hosta flowers or leaves, here's what to do.
- Remove uneaten food from your dog's mouth.
- Give your dog lots of water to induce vomiting.
- Visit a veterinary hospital immediately.
If vomiting does not occur, your cat should be taken to a veterinary hospital for treatment such as gastric lavage or administration of activated charcoal. In addition, if the symptoms of poisoning are severe, hospitalization may be required.
When visiting the veterinary clinic, it is a good idea to take note of the following information:
- Amount of hosta eaten by a dog
- The time I ate
- dog weight
- dog's physical condition
Providing this information will allow your veterinarian to provide appropriate treatment.
Also, to prevent such accidents in the future, please be aware of the following:
- Place the hosta in a place where your dog can't reach it.
- When walking, be careful not to let your dog eat hosta.
Hosta is a plant that is often seen as a houseplant or garden tree. If you own a dog, be aware of the toxicity of hosta and be careful.
