Determine the Toxicity of the Plant
- “Houou Boku” is also known as “Chinese trumpet creeper” or “Campsis grandiflora.”
- This plant is generally considered non-toxic to dogs; however, some parts of the plant may cause mild to moderate gastrointestinal upset.
Observe Your Dog’s Symptoms
- Watch for signs of gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.
- If your dog starts to behave abnormally or shows signs of severe discomfort, seek veterinary attention immediately.
Contact Your Veterinarian
- If you are concerned about the amount of plant material your dog ate or if they are showing symptoms, contact your veterinarian for advice.
- Your veterinarian may recommend inducing vomiting or administering activated charcoal to minimize absorption of the plant material.
Other Considerations
- Although “Houou Boku” is not typically considered toxic, it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
- If your dog comes into contact with the plant, wash the affected area with water and monitor for any signs of irritation.
- Keep your dog away from the plant in the future to prevent any potential issues.
