If your dog has eaten any part of a Kalmia plant (also known as mountain laurel or sheep laurel), you should contact your veterinarian immediately. Kalmia is highly toxic to dogs, and ingestion of any part of the plant can cause serious health problems, including vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, seizures, and even death.
The severity of the symptoms will depend on the amount of Kalmia that your dog has eaten and the size of your dog. Even small amounts of Kalmia can be toxic to small dogs.
If you are unable to reach your veterinarian, you can call the Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661. They will be able to provide you with more information about Kalmia poisoning and what to do.
In the meantime, you should try to keep your dog calm and comfortable. Do not induce vomiting, as this could make the situation worse. If your dog is having seizures, you should try to keep them from injuring themselves.
