Immediate Actions:
-
Contact your veterinarian immediately. Lychees can be toxic to dogs, especially in large quantities.
-
Do not induce vomiting. This can spread the lychee pits and seeds, which are the most toxic parts.
-
Monitor your dog for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or any unusual behavior.
What to Expect from Your Veterinarian:
- Physical examination: Your vet will check your dog for signs of toxicity, such as:
- Lethargy
- Abdominal pain
- Dehydration
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Blood tests: Your vet may order blood tests to check for signs of liver or kidney damage.
- X-rays or ultrasound: If your dog swallowed lychee pits, your vet may use imaging to locate them.
Treatment:
- Activated charcoal: Activated charcoal can be administered orally to absorb any remaining toxins.
- Intravenous fluids: Fluids may be given to hydrate your dog and flush out the toxins.
- Surgery: If lychee pits are found in your dog’s digestive tract, surgery may be necessary to remove them.
- Liver and kidney support medications: If liver or kidney damage occurs, your vet may prescribe medications to support these organs.
Prognosis:
The prognosis depends on several factors, including:
- The amount of lychee consumed
- The presence of lychee pits
- The severity of the symptoms
- Early diagnosis and treatment
With prompt veterinary attention, most dogs recover fully from lychee toxicity. However, in severe cases, it can be fatal.
Prevention:
- Keep lychees away from your dog.
- Dispose of lychee pits and seeds properly.
- Supervise your dog when they are outside, especially in areas where lychee trees may be present.
