Immediate Actions:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately. This is especially important if your dog has eaten a significant amount of the plant or is showing any symptoms.
- Induce vomiting. Give your dog a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide (1 teaspoon per 20 lbs of body weight) orally.
- Monitor your dog closely. Watch for any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, or labored breathing.
Treatment:
- Decontamination: If vomiting was not induced, the veterinarian may perform gastric lavage to remove any remaining plant material from the stomach.
- Activated charcoal: This can help absorb toxins and prevent their absorption into the bloodstream.
- Anti-diarrheal medication: To control diarrhea.
- Monitoring: The veterinarian will closely monitor your dog's condition and provide supportive care as needed.
