Your question is, what should you do if your dog eats cherry blossoms or leaves? As beautiful as cherry blossoms are, cherry blossoms are also poisonous. In particular, the seeds and leaves contain a substance called amygdalin, which generates a toxic substance called hydrogen cyanide1 2 3 .
Hydrogen cyanide is highly toxic, and if ingested, it causes symptoms such as congestion of the mucous membranes, respiratory distress, tachycardia, convulsions, and vomiting1 2 3 . In the worst cases, it can even lead to death1 2 3 .
In the unlikely event that your dog eats cherry blossoms or leaves, please follow the steps below .
- If symptoms do not appear within 15 minutes, induce vomiting.
- If no symptoms occur within 15 to 60 minutes, gastric lavage is performed.
- I will take him to the veterinary hospital immediately.
- Let me explain the situation.
Treatment at home is dangerous and not recommended2 . If treated by an amateur , there is a possibility that the appropriate treatment will not be given2 . At a veterinary hospital, you can receive specialized diagnosis and treatment1 2 3 .
In addition to cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms and other plants in the lily family may also be toxic1 2 . During the cherry blossom viewing season , be careful of things that have fallen or are picked up from crowds1 2.It is also important to train your child not to pick up and eat them1 .
