Immediate Actions:
- Call a veterinarian or animal poison control center immediately. They will provide specific instructions based on the situation.
- Induce vomiting only if directed by a veterinarian. Do not induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide, as this can cause further harm.
Information to Provide to the Veterinarian:
- Species and size of the dog
- Name of the plant ingested (Lofomirtas)
- Amount and part of the plant ingested (e.g., leaves, stems)
- Time of ingestion
- Current symptoms (if any)
Expected Symptoms:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Difficulty breathing
- Cyanosis (bluish tint to gums)
Toxicology:
Lofomirtas, also known as the Brazilian pepper, contains a toxin called angelicin. Angelicin can cause gastrointestinal upset, central nervous system depression, and respiratory distress. In severe cases, it can be fatal.
Treatment:
- Supportive care: This may include providing oxygen, fluids, and anti-nausea medications.
- Activated charcoal: This may be given to absorb the toxin.
- Specific antidotes: There is currently no specific antidote for Lofomirtas poisoning.
- Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove any remaining plant material from the digestive tract.
Prognosis:
The prognosis depends on the amount of plant ingested, the severity of symptoms, and the timeliness of treatment. Early treatment improves the chances of a full recovery.
Prevention:
- Keep Lofomirtas plants out of reach of dogs.
- Supervise dogs when they are in areas where Lofomirtas plants are present.
- Know the toxic plants in your area and take precautions to prevent your dog from ingesting them.
