Nephrolepis is a genus of ferns commonly known as Boston ferns, sword ferns, or fishbone ferns. While they are not typically toxic to dogs, ingestion of large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset.
Symptoms of Nephrolepis ingestion in dogs may include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
If your dog has eaten Nephrolepis, it is important to:
- Monitor your dog closely for any symptoms. If your dog shows any signs of distress, contact your veterinarian immediately.
- Call your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center for guidance. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action.
- Do not induce vomiting or give your dog any medications unless directed by your veterinarian.
In most cases, ingestion of Nephrolepis will not cause serious health problems. However, it is always important to consult with your veterinarian if you are concerned about your dog’s health.
