Chilean Iris (Iris germanica var. florentina) Toxicity
Chilean iris is a highly toxic plant to dogs, containing irisin, a glycoside that can cause severe gastrointestinal distress, neurological symptoms, and even death if not treated promptly.
Symptoms of Chilean Iris Toxicity in Dogs:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Depression
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Confusion
- Dilated pupils
- Respiratory distress
- Death
Immediate Actions:
1. Call a Veterinarian or Animal Poison Control: Contact your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) immediately at 1-888-426-4435. They can provide expert guidance and recommend the best course of action.
2. Induce Vomiting: If the ingestion occurred within the last 2 hours, your veterinarian may instruct you to induce vomiting using hydrogen peroxide (3%) at a dose of 1 teaspoon per 5 lbs of body weight. Do not induce vomiting if your dog is showing signs of neurological impairment or respiratory distress.
3. Administer Activated Charcoal: Activated charcoal can help absorb the irisin from the dog's stomach. Your veterinarian will provide the correct dosage and instructions for administration.
4. Monitor Your Dog Closely: Keep an eye on your dog's condition and watch for any changes in symptoms. If the dog's condition worsens or any new symptoms appear, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Long-Term Care:
- Your veterinarian will monitor your dog's condition and provide supportive care as needed.
- Treatment may include fluids, anti-vomiting medication, and anti-diarrheal medication.
- The prognosis depends on the amount of irisin ingested and the severity of the symptoms.
- If the dog is treated promptly, most recover fully with no lasting effects. However, severe cases can be fatal.
Prevention:
- Keep Chilean iris and other toxic plants out of reach of your dog.
- Supervise your dog when they are outside, especially in areas where poisonous plants may be present.
- Educate yourself about the plants that are toxic to dogs and avoid planting them in areas where your pet can access them.
