Ezogiku (Aster) Toxicity in Dogs

Symptoms:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Loss of appetite
  • Depression
  • Tremors
  • Seizures

First Aid:

1. Induce Vomiting (if less than 2 hours since ingestion):

  • Give hydrogen peroxide orally (1 teaspoon per 10lbs of body weight).
  • Repeat every 10-15 minutes until the dog vomits.

2. Contact a Veterinarian Immediately:

Even if your dog is not showing symptoms, it’s crucial to seek veterinary attention as soon as possible.

3. Gather Information:

  • Note the time of ingestion.
  • Estimate the amount of Ezogiku consumed.
  • Bring any remaining Ezogiku or vomit to the vet.

Veterinary Treatment:

  • Decontamination: The vet may induce vomiting or give activated charcoal to absorb the toxins.
  • Intravenous Fluids: To prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
  • Anti-nausea Medications: To control vomiting.
  • Anticonvulsants: To prevent or treat seizures.

Prognosis:

The prognosis depends on the amount of Ezogiku ingested and the promptness of treatment. With early intervention, most dogs recover fully. However, severe ingestion can be fatal.

Additional Precautions:

  • Keep Ezogiku out of reach of dogs.
  • Avoid using Ezogiku in mulch or compost in areas accessible to dogs.
  • Be aware that other plants in the Aster family, such as daisies and goldenrod, can also be toxic to dogs.
