Immediate Actions:
-
Contact Your Veterinarian Immediately: Inform them about the ingestion and provide them with the following information:
- Type of begonia ingested: Begonia sempaflorence
- Estimated amount consumed
- Time of ingestion
-
Induce Vomiting (if recommended by your veterinarian): This can be done using hydrogen peroxide or apomorphine. However, inducing vomiting may not be recommended for dogs that have ingested large amounts of begonia or are showing signs of lethargy or respiratory distress.

Monitor Your Dog Closely: Observe your dog for any unusual symptoms, such as:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Difficulty breathing
- Excessive thirst
- Cyanosis (blue or purple gums)
Treatment:
Treatment will depend on the severity of the ingestion and may include:
- Activated Charcoal: This can help absorb the toxins from the begonia.
- Intravenous Fluids: To maintain hydration and flush out the toxins.
- Anticonvulsants: If your dog is experiencing seizures.
- Oxygen Supplementation: If your dog is having difficulty breathing.
Recovery:
- Monitor Your Dog’s Health: Continue to observe your dog for any signs of improvement or worsening symptoms.
- Restrict Activity: Limit your dog’s activity to prevent further exertion and stress on the digestive system.
- Follow Veterinarian’s Instructions: Adhere strictly to the veterinarian’s treatment plan and follow-up recommendations.
Additional Information:
- Begonia sempaflorence contains toxic substances called begonias and oxalates.
- These toxins can cause gastrointestinal irritation, kidney damage, neurological effects, and cardiac arrhythmias.
- The severity of symptoms depends on the amount ingested and the individual dog’s sensitivity.
- Prompt veterinary attention is crucial for a favorable outcome.
- Keep all begonias out of reach of pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
