Immediate Actions:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately. They can provide expert advice and treatment options.
- Induce vomiting: This may help remove any remaining plant material from the dog’s stomach. Follow your veterinarian’s instructions on how to do this safely.
- Monitor your dog’s condition: Watch for signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or lethargy.
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Gastrointestinal distress (vomiting, diarrhea)
- Neurological symptoms (tremors, seizures, disorientation)
- Respiratory distress (difficulty breathing, panting)
- Cardiovascular problems (irregular heartbeat)
Treatment:
- Supportive care: This includes fluid therapy, electrolyte replacement, and pain management.
- Anticonvulsants: If the dog has seizures, anticonvulsant medications may be necessary.
- Cardiovascular support: If the dog experiences heart problems, medications to support cardiovascular function may be needed.
- Activated charcoal: Activated charcoal can help absorb any remaining toxins in the digestive tract.
Prognosis:
The prognosis depends on the amount of plant ingested and the severity of the symptoms. With prompt treatment, most dogs can make a full recovery. However, in severe cases, toxicity can be fatal.
Additional Information:
- New Guinea Impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri) is a toxic plant that contains compounds called cardenolides, which can affect the heart and nervous system.
