Plumeria Toxicity in Dogs
Plumeria (Plumeria spp.) is a popular ornamental plant with beautiful, fragrant flowers. However, all parts of the plant, including the flowers, leaves, and stems, are toxic to dogs.
Symptoms of Plumeria Toxicity
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Drooling
- Tremors
- Convulsions
- Cardiac arrhythmias
- Respiratory distress
- Death
What to Do if Your Dog Ate Plumeria
1. Contact Your Veterinarian Immediately:
Call your veterinarian or the nearest animal poison control center as soon as possible. Provide detailed information about the plant, the amount ingested, and the symptoms your dog is experiencing.
2. Induce Vomiting (Optional):
If your veterinarian instructs you to do so, you may induce vomiting using hydrogen peroxide. Mix 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide with 1 tablespoon of water. Give this solution orally to your dog, but do not repeat more than once.
3. Decontaminate the Mouth:
Rinse your dog's mouth with clean water or activated charcoal to remove any remaining plant material.
4. Provide Activated Charcoal:
Administer activated charcoal as directed by your veterinarian. Activated charcoal binds to toxins in the digestive tract, preventing their absorption.
5. Monitor Your Dog:
Keep your dog isolated and observe them closely for any changes in behavior or symptoms. Report any concerns to your veterinarian immediately.
6. Hospitalization:
In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary for intensive care, including intravenous fluids, medications, and monitoring.
7. Long-Term Care:
Your veterinarian may recommend follow-up exams and blood work to monitor your dog's recovery.
Prevention:
- Plant plumerias out of reach of dogs.
- Train your dog to avoid chewing on plants.
- Supervise your dog around all plants, especially those known to be toxic.
