Hello, this is Bing. We will answer what to do if your dog eats gerbera flowers or leaves.
Gerbera is a type of herb that is loved by both humans and dogs for its aroma and taste. However, if your dog eats gerberas, they may experience allergic reactions and digestive problems1 .
The ingredients in Gerbera are safe for humans, but they contain a substance called amygdalin that is safe for dogs . When amygdalin is broken down in your dog’s body, it produces hydrogen cyanide , a highly toxic substance2 . Hydrogen cyanide can cause serious poisoning symptoms such as mucous membrane hyperemia and respiratory distress2 .
If your dog has eaten a gerbera plant, follow the steps below.
- Contact a veterinary hospital immediately . If your pet feels unwell or has trouble breathing after eating gerbera, please contact your veterinarian immediately3 . At the veterinary hospital, we will use blood and urine tests to determine the presence and severity of poisoning, and if necessary , administer an intravenous drip or induce vomiting3 .
- Take away the flowers and leaves that you have eaten . At your veterinary hospital, you can ask for more information. When doing so, it is important to accurately communicate what you ate, when you ate it, and how much you ate.3 It is also helpful to record things like “what color”, “what shape”, and “what smell”3 .
- Consider measures to prevent recurrence . There may be other dangerous flowers and grasses besides gerberas. For example, lilies, daffodils, and morning glories are all dangerous4 . Hydrangeas, tulips, and bellflowers are also dangerous4 . Azaleas, pansies (violas), and cherry blossoms are also dangerous4 . “Poinsettia” and “Higanbana” are also dangerous4 . “Carnations” are also dangerous4 . “Bracken” is also dangerous4 . “Pothos” is also dangerous4 . “Lilies” are also dangerous4 . Daffodils are also dangerous4 . Morning glory is also dangerous4 . Hydrangeas (hydrangeas) are also dangerous4 . “Tulips” are also dangerous4 . The bellflower is also dangerous4 .
