Symptoms of Bupleurum Poisoning:

  • Vomiting (yellow or orange bile)
  • Diarrhea (yellow or orange)
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin, gums, or whites of eyes)
  • Abdominal pain
  • Lethargy
  • Anorexia
  • Liver damage

Steps to Take:

1. Remove Access to Plant: Ensure that the dog can no longer access the Bupleurum plant.

2. Call Poison Control: Contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 or the Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661. They can provide expert advice and guidance.

3. Induce Vomiting (if directed by Poison Control): Only do this if directed by a poison control professional. Use 3% hydrogen peroxide orally, giving 1 teaspoon per 5 pounds of body weight.

4. Administer Activated Charcoal (if directed by Poison Control): Activated charcoal can help absorb toxins. Follow the instructions provided by poison control.

5. Keep the Dog Hydrated: Dehydration can worsen the poisoning. Offer plenty of fresh water.

6. Monitor for Signs of Distress: Watch for changes in the dog’s behavior, breathing, or heart rate. If any concerns arise, seek veterinary attention immediately.

7. Veterinary Care: Take the dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible. The veterinarian will perform tests, administer treatment, and monitor the dog’s condition.

Treatment:

Treatment for Bupleurum poisoning may involve:

  • Intravenous fluids to correct dehydration
  • Medications to control vomiting and diarrhea
  • Liver protectants
  • Antibiotics (if an infection develops)
  • Blood transfusions (in severe cases)

Prognosis:

The prognosis depends on the severity of the poisoning and the promptness of treatment. Early intervention is crucial for improving the chances of survival. With appropriate medical care, most dogs poisoned by Bupleurum can make a full recovery.
