Immediate Actions:
- Contact a veterinarian immediately: Call your veterinarian to inform them of the situation and get professional guidance.
- Observe the dog: Monitor your dog closely for any symptoms of distress or toxicity.
- Remove any remaining mango: If possible, remove any remaining mango pieces from the dog’s reach.
Potential Symptoms of Mango Toxicity:
Mangoes typically do not pose a significant threat to dogs, but certain parts of the fruit can cause mild to moderate symptoms of toxicity, including:
- Gastrointestinal upset (e.g., vomiting, diarrhea)
- Allergic reactions (e.g., skin irritation, itching)
- Central nervous system effects (e.g., drowsiness, uncoordination)
Treatment:
- Mild symptoms: For cases with mild symptoms, supportive care may be sufficient, such as fluids and anti-nausea medication.
- Moderate symptoms: In cases with moderate symptoms, veterinary treatment may be necessary, which could include:
- Inducing vomiting or gastric lavage
- Activated charcoal to absorb toxins
- Antihistamines to reduce allergic reactions
- Intravenous fluids to maintain hydration
- Severe symptoms: In rare cases, severe mango toxicity can lead to tremors, seizures, and other life-threatening conditions. Immediate veterinary care is crucial in these situations.
Specific Concerns:
- Pit: The pit or seed of the mango contains a toxic substance called amygdalin. If ingested in large amounts, it can release cyanide. However, the amount of amygdalin in a single mango pit is usually not sufficient to cause significant harm.
- Skin: The skin of the mango contains urushiol, which is the same irritant found in poison ivy. It can cause skin irritation in some dogs.
Prevention:
- Keep mangoes out of reach of dogs.
- If you are unsure whether your dog has eaten mango, contact your veterinarian immediately.
