Rowan Berry Ingestion in Dogs:
What is Rowan Berry?
Rowan berries are the bright red or orange fruits of the rowan tree (Sorbus aucuparia), which is common in Europe and parts of North America. These berries are known for their bitter taste and contain a compound called parasorbic acid, which can be toxic to dogs in high doses.
Symptoms of Rowan Berry Ingestion:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Weakness
- Excessive thirst
- Dilated pupils
- Confusion
- Tremors
- Seizures
First Aid Steps:
1. Call Your Veterinarian Immediately:
Inform your veterinarian about the ingestion, the amount of berries consumed, and any symptoms the dog is experiencing.
2. Induce Vomiting (if directed by your veterinarian):
Hydrogen peroxide can be used to induce vomiting. Give 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. Do not repeat more than twice.
3. Monitor for Symptoms:
Keep a close eye on your dog for any changes in behavior or symptoms. If any symptoms worsen or new symptoms develop, seek immediate veterinary attention.
4. Prevent Further Ingestion:
Remove any remaining rowan berries from the dog’s environment and ensure the dog cannot access them again.
Veterinary Treatment:
If your dog has ingested a significant amount of rowan berries, veterinary treatment may be necessary. This may include:
- Intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration
- Anti-nausea medication
- Activated charcoal to absorb any remaining toxins
- Monitoring for kidney and liver function
Prognosis:
The prognosis for rowan berry ingestion in dogs depends on the amount consumed and the time it takes to receive veterinary treatment. With prompt treatment, most dogs recover fully. However, severe cases can be fatal if left untreated.
Prevention:
- Keep rowan trees and berries out of your dog’s reach.
- Train your dog to leave plants and berries alone.
- Monitor your dog when they are outside to prevent them from eating potentially toxic substances.
