First Aid:
-
Call your veterinarian immediately. Gaillardia can be toxic to dogs, causing vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and potentially more severe complications.
-
Induce vomiting (if instructed by your veterinarian): Use 3% hydrogen peroxide at a dose of 1 teaspoon per 5 pounds of body weight. Mix with an equal amount of water and give orally. Repeat every 15 minutes until vomiting occurs.
Monitoring and Treatment:
-
Keep your dog calm and comfortable: Allow them to rest and monitor their symptoms closely.
-
Transport to a veterinary clinic: If your veterinarian is not available, transport your dog to the nearest emergency veterinary clinic.
-
Provide water: Encourage your dog to drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins.
Preventive Measures:
-
Identify and remove toxic plants: Ensure your yard and surroundings are free of any potentially poisonous plants.
-
Supervise your dog: Monitor your dog’s behavior and prevent them from ingesting unknown substances.
-
Consult with a veterinarian: If you suspect your dog has ingested something harmful, contact your veterinarian promptly for advice and treatment.
