Identification and Symptoms of Brunella Toxicity in Dogs
Brunella is a genus of flowering plants commonly known as selfheal. While some species are edible and used in traditional medicine, others can be toxic to dogs.
Symptoms of brunella toxicity in dogs may include:
- Gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea)
- Anorexia
- Lethargy
- Tremors
- Seizures
First Aid and Treatment
If you suspect your dog has ingested brunella, take the following steps:
1. Remove the Source: * Prevent your dog from accessing the plant if possible.
2. Call the Veterinarian: * Contact your veterinarian immediately for advice and guidance.
3. Induce Vomiting (Optional): * ONLY if advised by your veterinarian and the ingestion occurred within the last hour, you may induce vomiting using 3% hydrogen peroxide (1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight). * Mix the hydrogen peroxide with water in equal parts and give it to your dog orally. * Do not induce vomiting if your dog is lethargic, convulsing, or has any respiratory problems.
4. Activated Charcoal: * Your veterinarian may recommend giving your dog activated charcoal to absorb the toxins.
5. IV Fluids: * If your dog is vomiting or has diarrhea, IV fluids may be necessary to prevent dehydration.
6. Medications: * Depending on the severity of the symptoms, your veterinarian may prescribe medications such as anticonvulsants or antiemetics.
Monitoring and Prognosis
- Monitor your dog’s symptoms closely and contact your veterinarian if they worsen or change.
- The prognosis for brunella toxicity depends on the species of plant ingested, the amount consumed, and the time elapsed since ingestion.
- With prompt treatment, most dogs recover fully.
Prevention
- Keep your dog away from potentially toxic plants, including brunella.
- Secure your yard and garden to prevent your dog from accessing them.
- If you are unsure about the safety of a plant, consult with your veterinarian or a plant expert.
