Immediate Actions:
- Contact Poison Control: Call the Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 immediately. They will provide guidance and instructions based on your dog’s weight and the amount of hyacinth ingested.
- Induce Vomiting: Only induce vomiting if instructed by Poison Control. Use a hydrogen peroxide solution (3% concentration) at a dose of 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight. Give it orally and repeat the dose in 10-15 minutes if vomiting does not occur.
- Dilute and Absorb Toxins: Encourage your dog to drink plenty of water to help dilute the toxin. Use activated charcoal tablets to absorb any remaining toxins in the digestive tract. Follow the recommended dosage on the product label.
Monitoring and Treatment:
- Monitor Your Dog Closely: Observe your dog for any signs of toxicity, including vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, seizures, and difficulty breathing.
- Seek Veterinary Care: If your dog exhibits any signs of toxicity, contact your veterinarian immediately. They may perform examinations, bloodwork, and administer appropriate treatment, such as IV fluids, medications, or oxygen therapy.
- Hyacinth Toxicity: Hyacinth bulbs and leaves contain a toxic substance called hyacinthin, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and cardiac arrhythmias in dogs.
- Prognosis: The prognosis depends on the amount of hyacinth ingested and the severity of the toxicity. With prompt treatment, most dogs make a full recovery.
Preventive Measures:
- Keep hyacinth plants out of reach of dogs.
- Train your dog not to eat plants.
- If you suspect your dog has ingested a hyacinth, contact Poison Control or your veterinarian immediately.
