Akizaki Snowflake is a highly toxic plant to dogs.

Immediate Actions:

  1. Induce Vomiting (if possible):
  2. If your dog ingested the plant within the last 2 hours, you can try to induce vomiting. Give your dog 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. Repeat every 5 minutes, up to 3 times.
  3. Call Your Veterinarian Immediately:
  4. Inform your veterinarian of the situation and the amount of Akizaki Snowflake your dog consumed. Follow their instructions closely.
  5. Monitor Your Dog:
  6. Keep your dog calm and watch for any symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, difficulty breathing, or seizures.

Symptoms to Watch For:

  • Gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea)
  • Abdominal pain
  • Weakness or lethargy
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Tremors or seizures
  • Liver failure (in severe cases)

Additional Precautions:

  • Do NOT give your dog any milk or water: This can worsen the absorption of the toxins.
  • Do NOT use activated charcoal: This is ineffective for Akizaki Snowflake poisoning.
  • Keep your dog away from the plant: Remove all Akizaki Snowflake plants from your home and yard.
  • Contact Poison Control: If you cannot reach your veterinarian, call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 (fee applies).

Treatment:

Your veterinarian will determine the best course of treatment based on your dog’s symptoms and the amount of plant consumed. Treatment may include:

  • Intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration
  • Medications to control vomiting and diarrhea
  • Surgery to remove any remaining plant material from the stomach or intestines
  • Liver support medication

Prognosis:

The prognosis for Akizaki Snowflake poisoning depends on the amount consumed and the timeliness of treatment. Early intervention is crucial.
