What is Cloud Grass?
Cloud grass (Deschampsia cespitosa) is a non-toxic grass species native to Europe and Asia. It is often grown in gardens and landscaping as an ornamental plant.
Symptoms of Ingestion
While cloud grass is not generally toxic to dogs, ingestion can cause mild gastrointestinal upset, such as:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal discomfort
- Gas
What to Do if Your Dog Ate Cloud Grass
1. Monitor Your Dog:
- Observe your dog for signs of distress, such as excessive vomiting, diarrhea, or difficulty breathing.
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice any concerning symptoms.
2. Restrict Food and Water:
- For the first few hours after ingestion, withhold food and water from your dog. This helps prevent further vomiting and diarrhea.
3. Encourage Rest:
- Let your dog rest quietly in a comfortable place. Exercise can worsen gastrointestinal symptoms.
4. Gradual Reintroduction of Food and Water:
- After a few hours, offer small amounts of bland food, such as boiled chicken or white rice.
- Gradually increase the amount of food and water as your dog tolerates it.
5. Observe Your Dog’s Stool:
- Monitor your dog’s stool for any changes in consistency or frequency. If the diarrhea persists or becomes severe, contact your veterinarian.
Prevention
- Keep your dog leashed or supervised in areas where cloud grass may be present.
- Train your dog to avoid eating unknown plants.
- Remove any cloud grass plants from your yard or garden.
Note:
- Cloud grass is not to be confused with other toxic grasses, such as foxtails or ryegrass, which can cause more serious health issues.
- If you are unsure whether your dog has ingested cloud grass or another plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.
