Lavatera Toxicity in Dogs
Symptoms:
- Gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea)
- Salivation
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Difficulty breathing
- Cardiac arrhythmias
Treatment:
1. Induce Vomiting (if not already vomiting)
- If the dog has ingested Lavatera within the last 1-2 hours, it is important to induce vomiting to eliminate any remaining plant material in the stomach.
- Administer hydrogen peroxide orally (1-2 teaspoons for a small dog, 2-4 teaspoons for a larger dog).
- If the dog does not vomit within 15 minutes, repeat the dose.
2. Contact Your Veterinarian
- Call your veterinarian immediately, even if the dog is not showing any symptoms.
- Let the veterinarian know the type of plant, how much was ingested, and the time of ingestion.
3. Provide Supportive Care
- Keep the dog comfortable in a quiet and stress-free environment.
- Provide plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
- Monitor the dog closely for any changes in condition.
4. Veterinarian's Care:
- Activated Charcoal: The veterinarian may administer activated charcoal to absorb and neutralize any remaining toxins in the digestive tract.
- Intravenous Fluids: Fluids will be administered to support hydration and electrolyte balance.
- Anticonvulsants: If the dog is experiencing seizures, anticonvulsant medication will be given to control them.
- Other Medications: Depending on the severity of the poisoning, the veterinarian may prescribe other medications to support the dog's vital functions.
Additional Tips:
- Do not give the dog any milk or food until directed by the veterinarian.
- Do not use Epsom salts or other home remedies to induce vomiting.
- Bring a sample of the Lavatera plant to the veterinarian for identification.
- Keep all poisonous plants out of reach of your dog.
Note: Lavatera toxicity in dogs can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. It is essential to contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your dog has ingested this plant.
