Impatiens Toxicity to Dogs
Impatiens, a common garden plant, is considered moderately toxic to dogs. Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal upset, skin irritation, and in severe cases, cardiac problems.
Symptoms of Impatiens Toxicity in Dogs:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Hypersalivation
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Cardiac arrhythmias
What to Do if Your Dog Ate Impatiens:
1. Contact Your Veterinarian Immediately:
Call your veterinarian as soon as possible. They will provide guidance and recommend the appropriate course of action.
2. Stay Calm and Observe Your Dog:
Monitor your dog for any symptoms of toxicity. Note the amount and type of impatiens consumed, as well as the time of ingestion.
3. Induce Vomiting (If Recommended by Your Veterinarian):
If your veterinarian recommends inducing vomiting, follow their instructions carefully. Do not induce vomiting if your dog is showing signs of lethargy or breathing difficulties.
4. Give Activated Charcoal (If Recommended):
Activated charcoal can help absorb the toxins from the impatiens. Your veterinarian will advise on the appropriate dosage and administration method.
5. Provide Water:
Keep your dog hydrated by offering small amounts of water frequently.
6. Seek Veterinary Care for Severe Symptoms:
If your dog develops severe symptoms such as tremors, seizures, or cardiac arrhythmias, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
Prevention:
- Keep impatiens plants out of reach of your dog.
- Supervise your dog while in areas where impatiens are present.
- Train your dog not to eat plants without your permission.
Additional Notes:
- Impatiens toxicity is usually mild and most dogs recover fully. However, it is important to seek veterinary attention to minimize the risk of complications.
- Treatment for impatiens toxicity may include supportive care, medications, and in severe cases, hospitalization.
- Always consult with your veterinarian for professional advice on pet health and treatment options.
