Immediate Action:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately. Egopodium is toxic to dogs and can cause significant health problems if ingested in large amounts.
- Induce vomiting: If possible, induce vomiting to remove as much of the plant material as you can. Give your dog 1-2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. Only do this if your veterinarian instructs you to.
- Keep your dog hydrated: Offer your dog plenty of water to flush out the toxins.
Veterinary Care:
- Examination: Your veterinarian will examine your dog and determine the severity of the poisoning.
- Blood tests: Blood tests can check for liver and kidney function, which can be affected by egopodium ingestion.
- Treatment: Treatment may include:
- Activated charcoal to absorb the toxins
- IV fluids to flush out the toxins
- Anti-nausea medication
- Liver and kidney support supplements
Home Care:
- Monitor your dog closely: Observe your dog for any signs of illness, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite.
- Restrict activity: Keep your dog calm and restrict its activity to prevent further strain on its organs.
- Provide a bland diet: Offer your dog a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice to help settle its stomach.
- Follow veterinary instructions: Adhere to all treatment and follow-up instructions provided by your veterinarian.
Prognosis:
The prognosis for egopodium poisoning in dogs depends on the amount ingested and the individual dog’s response to treatment. With prompt medical attention, most dogs recover well. However, severe poisoning can lead to liver and kidney damage or even death.
Prevention:
To prevent egopodium poisoning:
- Keep your dog away from areas where egopodium grows.
- If you have egopodium in your yard, remove it or fence it off.
- Teach your dog to avoid eating plants.
