If you think your dog has eaten nanten, it is important to take them to a veterinarian immediately. There is no antidote for nanten poisoning, but treatment can help to manage the symptoms and improve your dog’s chances of survival.
Treatment for nanten poisoning in dogs may include:
- inducing vomiting
- administering activated charcoal
- giving intravenous fluids
- providing supportive care
The prognosis for dogs who have eaten nanten depends on the amount of plant they ingested and the severity of their symptoms. With prompt treatment, most dogs can make a full recovery. However, in severe cases, nanten poisoning can be fatal.
Prevention is the best way to protect your dog from nanten poisoning. Keep nanten plants out of reach of dogs, and do not allow them to eat any part of the plant. If you suspect that your dog has eaten nanten, take them to a veterinarian immediately.
