Immediate Actions:
- Restrict Access: Keep the dog away from the Hardenbergia and any other potential sources of the plant.
- Contact a Veterinarian: Call your veterinarian immediately for guidance and treatment advice.
- Induce Vomiting (if directed by veterinarian): If the ingestion was recent (within 2 hours), your veterinarian may advise you to induce vomiting to remove any remaining plant material from the stomach. Do not induce vomiting without veterinary supervision.
Toxic Effects of Hardenbergia:
Hardenbergia contains a cyanogenic glycoside called amandin, which can release cyanide when ingested. Cyanide is a highly toxic substance that can cause:
- Difficulty breathing
- Seizures
- Loss of consciousness
- Death
Treatment:
Treatment for Hardenbergia poisoning depends on the severity of ingestion and the dog's symptoms. It may involve:
- Intravenous fluids: To support the body and replace lost fluids.
- Antidote (sodium thiosulfate): To neutralize cyanide in the body.
- Oxygen therapy: To provide additional oxygen if breathing is compromised.
- Activated charcoal: To absorb any remaining plant material in the digestive tract.
- Supportive care: To monitor the dog's vital signs and treat any secondary complications.
Prognosis:
The prognosis for dogs that have ingested Hardenbergia depends on:
- The amount of plant ingested
- The dog's size and weight
- The speed at which treatment is sought
Early intervention and aggressive treatment can increase the chances of a successful recovery.
Additional Precautions:
- Keep Hardenbergia plants out of reach of pets.
- Be aware of the signs of Hardenbergia poisoning in dogs, such as difficulty breathing, seizures, or loss of consciousness.
- If you suspect your dog has ingested Hardenbergia, do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian immediately.
