Step 1: Monitor the Dog
- Observe your dog closely for any signs of discomfort or distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.
- Restrict access to water for about 2-4 hours to prevent aspiration in case of vomiting.
Step 2: Contact Your Veterinarian
- Call your veterinarian immediately, even if your dog is not showing any symptoms. Yams can contain toxic substances for dogs.
Step 3: Induce Vomiting (If Recommended by Veterinarian)
- If your veterinarian advises, induce vomiting by:
- Giving 1 tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 5 pounds of body weight (max 3 tablespoons)
- Mix with a small amount of water or food
- Repeat every 15 minutes until vomiting occurs, but not more than 3 times
Step 4: Provide Activated Charcoal (If Recommended by Veterinarian)
- If your veterinarian advises, administer activated charcoal to absorb toxins:
- Use 1 gram per pound of body weight
- Mix with water to form a paste
- Give orally or through a feeding tube
Step 5: Monitor and Treat Symptoms
- If your dog develops symptoms, such as:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Seizures
Seek immediate veterinary attention.
Additional Notes:
- Raw yams are more toxic than cooked yams.
- The toxicity of yams varies depending on the variety.
- Yams can be particularly dangerous for dogs with underlying health conditions, such as kidney or liver disease.
Prevention:
- Keep yams and other toxic foods out of reach of your dog.
- Never feed your dog yams or other raw vegetables that are not specifically approved by your veterinarian.
