If your dog accidentally eats chamomile flowers or leaves, the following steps may help:
Contact your veterinarian: If your dog ingests chamomile, the first thing you should do is contact your veterinarian immediately. Chamomile is generally a low-toxic plant for dogs, but your veterinarian will be able to assess the situation and recommend appropriate treatment.
Watch for symptoms: Pay close attention to your dog’s behavior and symptoms. Symptoms of chamomile poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive salivation, excitement, and convulsions. Report any of these symptoms to your veterinarian.
Assess intake: Know how much your dog has ingested and tell your vet. Some dogs may be hypersensitive to chamomile.
Do not induce vomiting: Do not induce vomiting on your own. Inducing vomiting incorrectly can be dangerous.
Toxic sorbents: Your veterinarian may prescribe the use of toxic sorbents if necessary. This helps absorb and excrete toxins.
Therapy: Your veterinarian may suggest fluid therapy or other treatments if necessary.
Although chamomile is generally considered a low-toxic plant, individual dogs may react differently, so it is important to follow your veterinarian’s advice and seek professional guidance.
