Hikoukisou (Japanese Angelica Tree) is a highly toxic plant to dogs if ingested. It contains a compound called lactones that can cause severe gastrointestinal distress, organ failure, and even death.
Immediate Actions:
- Call your veterinarian immediately, even if your dog is not showing any symptoms.
- If possible, induce vomiting by giving your dog 1-2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide (3%) per 5 pounds of body weight. Do not induce vomiting if your dog is unconscious or having seizures.
- Rinse your dog’s mouth thoroughly with water.
- If you suspect your dog has ingested a large amount of hikoukisou, you may need to take them to an animal hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea (may be bloody)
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Salivation
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Difficulty breathing
- Liver and kidney failure
Treatment:
- There is no specific antidote for hikoukisou poisoning.
- Treatment will focus on supportive care, such as:
- Intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration
- Electrolyte balance
- Pain medication
- Anti-nausea medication
- Oxygen therapy if breathing is difficult
- Liver protectants (e.g., silymarin)
Prognosis:
- The prognosis for hikoukisou poisoning depends on the amount ingested and the speed at which treatment is started.
- Dogs that ingest large amounts or are not treated promptly may have a poor prognosis.
- Even with treatment, some dogs may experience long-term liver or kidney damage.
Prevention:
- Keep hikoukisou plants out of reach of dogs.
- Be aware of the signs and symptoms of hikoukisou poisoning.
- If you suspect your dog has ingested hikoukisou, call your veterinarian immediately.
