Immediate Actions:
-
Contact your veterinarian immediately: Provide them with the following information:
- The dog’s age, weight, and breed
- The estimated time of ingestion
- The amount of calceolaria ingested
- Any symptoms the dog is experiencing
-
Induce vomiting (only if directed by your veterinarian): If the ingestion occurred within the past 2-4 hours, your veterinarian may advise you to induce vomiting using hydrogen peroxide or ipecac syrup.
-
Restrict food and water: Temporarily withhold food and water to prevent further absorption of the toxin.
Symptoms to Watch For:
Calceolaria contains a toxic glycoside called calceolarioside, which can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Excessive salivation
- Weakness
- Tremors
- Cardiac arrhythmias
- Seizures
Treatment:
Treatment for calceolaria poisoning is supportive and depends on the severity of the symptoms. It may include:
- Fluid therapy: To prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
- Activated charcoal: To absorb the toxin from the gastrointestinal tract
- Anti-emetics: To control nausea and vomiting
- Cardiorespiratory monitoring: To ensure the dog’s vital signs are stable
- Intravenous medications: To treat cardiac arrhythmias or other life-threatening complications
Prognosis:
The prognosis for calceolaria poisoning depends on the amount ingested and the promptness of treatment. Most dogs recover fully with supportive care, but severe cases can be fatal.
Prevention:
- Keep calceolaria plants out of reach of dogs.
- Supervise your dog when they are outdoors to prevent them from eating harmful plants.
- Educate your family and friends about the dangers of poisonous plants.
