Helichrysum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Some species of Helichrysum are known to be toxic to dogs, and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. If your dog has eaten an helichrysum plant, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately.
The veterinarian will likely recommend inducing vomiting to remove the plant from your dog’s stomach. Activated charcoal may also be given to help absorb any toxins that have been ingested. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to provide supportive care and monitor your dog’s condition.
The prognosis for dogs who have ingested helichrysum is generally good, but will depend on the amount of plant that was eaten and the individual dog’s sensitivity to the toxins. With prompt treatment, most dogs will make a full recovery.
