Immediate Actions:
-
Contact a veterinarian immediately: Iriomote morning glory is highly toxic to dogs and can cause life-threatening complications. Call your veterinarian's office or an emergency animal hospital and provide them with all the necessary information, including:
- Dog's age, weight, and breed
- Amount and time of ingestion (if known)
- Symptoms observed
-
Induce Vomiting (Optional): If instructed by your veterinarian, you may induce vomiting to remove as much of the plant material as possible. Use hydrogen peroxide (3%) at a dose of 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight. Give it orally and repeat every 15 minutes until your dog vomits. Never induce vomiting if your dog is unconscious or having seizures.
Veterinary Treatment:
Upon arriving at the veterinary clinic, your dog will receive:
- Stabilization: Intravenous fluids and medications to support vital functions.
- Activated Charcoal: To absorb and neutralize any remaining toxins.
- Anti-Vomiting Medications: To control vomiting and nausea.
- Muscle Relaxants: To prevent seizures.
- Monitoring: Your dog will be closely monitored for complications, such as liver or kidney failure.
Home Care:
If your dog is discharged from the hospital, follow these home care instructions carefully:
- Monitor Your Dog Closely: Watch for any changes in behavior, appetite, or bowel movements.
- Rest and Quiet: Provide a quiet and comfortable environment for your dog to recover.
- Avoid Exercise: Restrict your dog's activity to prevent further stress on its body.
- Follow Medication Instructions: Give your dog all prescribed medications as directed.
- Monitor for Recurrence: Some dogs may experience delayed symptoms, so it's crucial to monitor your dog closely for several days after ingestion.
Additional Information:
- Iriomote morning glory contains a toxin called dioscorine, which can damage liver and kidney cells.
- Symptoms of ingestion can include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, tremors, seizures, and liver failure.
- The prognosis for dogs who ingest Iriomote morning glory depends on the amount consumed and how quickly treatment is received.
