Ashitaba (Angelica keiskei) is a Japanese plant that is often used in traditional medicine. It is generally considered safe for human consumption, but there is limited information on its effects on dogs.
Symptoms of Ashitaba toxicity in dogs can include:
- Gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea)
- Lethargy
- Confusion
- Tremors
- Seizures
If your dog has eaten Ashitaba, you should contact your veterinarian immediately. They will be able to assess your dog’s condition and recommend the best course of action.
Treatment for Ashitaba toxicity in dogs may include:
- Induced vomiting
- Activated charcoal to absorb the toxin
- Intravenous fluids to support electrolyte balance
- Anti-seizure medication
Prognosis for dogs who have eaten Ashitaba depends on the amount of the plant that was ingested and the timeliness of treatment.
Prevention is the best way to avoid Ashitaba toxicity in dogs. Keep Ashitaba plants out of reach of your dog, and do not give them any products that contain Ashitaba.
