I asked Google Bird what to do.

My dog ate the flowers and leaves of Calibrachoa. Please tell me in detail what to do.
Google Bard’s answer
Calibrachoa is a plant that is toxic to dogs. If your dog eats Calibrachoa flowers or leaves, your dog may exhibit the following symptoms:
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- abdominal pain
- dry mouth
- drool
- excitement
- convulsions
- coma
If your cat exhibits any of these symptoms, please visit your veterinarian immediately. At the veterinary hospital, the following treatments will be performed depending on the dog’s condition:
- Emetic treatment (make people vomit what they have eaten)
- gastric lavage
- Activated charcoal administration
- Infusion therapy
- Adjunctive therapy (sedatives, anticonvulsants, etc.)
If a small amount was eaten and your dog isn’t showing any symptoms, you may want to keep an eye on it. However, even if you eat a small amount, you may become seriously ill later on, so you need to be careful.
Below is a summary of what to do if your dog accidentally ingests Calibrachoa.
- Observe your dog and if any symptoms appear, take him to a veterinarian immediately.
- Save the flowers and leaves of the calibrachoa you ate.
- When you call the veterinary hospital for a consultation, provide details such as the amount and time of flowers and leaves eaten, and your dog’s symptoms.
Also, for future prevention, keep Calibrachoa out of reach of your dog.
