Safinia is a member of the nightshade family and is toxic to dogs. If ingested, symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, stomatitis, and difficulty breathing may occur.
If your dog eats Safinia flowers or leaves, here's what to do.
- call the veterinary hospital immediately
Call your veterinarian as soon as possible, regardless of whether your pet is showing any symptoms. Your veterinarian will be able to assess your dog's condition and recommend appropriate treatment.
- make you vomit what you eat
If your dog can still spit out food, encourage him to vomit. Consult your veterinarian about how to induce vomiting.
- perform gastric lavage
If food remains after vomiting, gastric lavage may be necessary. Gastric lavage can be performed at a veterinary clinic.
- Administer activated charcoal
Activated carbon has the ability to adsorb toxic substances. Administer activated charcoal as directed by your veterinarian.
