Osmosylon is highly toxic to dogs.

Symptoms of Osmosylon Poisoning in Dogs:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Excessive salivation
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Weakness
  • Tremors
  • Seizures
  • Paralysis
  • Death

If you suspect your dog has eaten osmoxylon, follow these steps immediately:

1. Call your veterinarian or the nearest animal emergency clinic: This is a medical emergency.

2. Induce vomiting if possible: If the dog has ingested the osmoxylon within the last 2 hours, your veterinarian may instruct you to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide (3%). Alternatively, you can use ipecac syrup as directed by your veterinarian.

3. Do not give your dog milk or water: These liquids can make vomiting worse and speed up the absorption of the toxin.

4. Transport your dog to the veterinarian or animal emergency clinic: Bring any remaining osmoxylon plant or vomit with you to aid in diagnosis.

Treatment:

  • Activated charcoal: This can help absorb the toxin in the stomach and intestines.
  • IV fluids: These help flush out the toxin and support the dog’s body.
  • Anticonvulsants: These may be needed to control seizures.
  • Mechanical ventilation: If the dog is having difficulty breathing, mechanical ventilation may be necessary.

Prognosis:

The prognosis for osmoxylon poisoning in dogs depends on the amount ingested and the promptness of treatment. Dogs that receive immediate veterinary care have a better chance of survival.

Prevention:

Keep all parts of the osmoxylon plant out of your dog’s reach. This includes the leaves, stems, and berries.
