Monitor your dog closely.
Bitter gourds, also known as bitter melons, are not toxic to dogs, but they can cause some mild digestive upset. Symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
If your dog eats a bitter gourd, watch for the following symptoms:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
If any of these symptoms develop, contact your veterinarian immediately.
In most cases, dogs who eat bitter gourds will recover quickly with no treatment.
However, if your dog consumes a large amount of bitter gourd, or if they experience severe symptoms, they may need to be hospitalized for treatment.
Here are some things you can do to help your dog if they have eaten a bitter gourd:
- Give them plenty of water to drink.
- Feed them a bland diet for a few days.
- Monitor their symptoms closely.
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if they develop any severe symptoms.
