Immediate Actions:
-
Contact your veterinarian immediately: Call your veterinarian and provide them with as much information as possible, including the type of orchid (Coelogyne), the amount consumed, and the time it was ingested.
-
Induce vomiting (if instructed by your veterinarian): If your veterinarian instructs you to, induce vomiting by giving your dog 3% hydrogen peroxide orally (1 tablespoon per 15 pounds of body weight). This should be done within 2 hours of ingestion.
Monitoring:
-
Monitor your dog closely: Observe your dog for any signs of discomfort, such as vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, or difficulty breathing.
-
Take away any remaining orchid: Remove any Coelogyne plants or parts that may still be accessible to your dog.
Veterinary Care:
-
Examination and diagnosis: Your veterinarian will perform a physical examination and run tests to determine the severity of the poisoning.
-
Treatment: Treatment options may include:
- Activated charcoal to bind the toxin
- Intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration
- Medication to reduce inflammation or treat any secondary complications
-
Hospitalization: In severe cases, your dog may need to be hospitalized for monitoring and treatment.
Prognosis:
The prognosis for dogs who have ingested Coelogyne depends on the amount consumed and the severity of the poisoning. With prompt medical attention, most dogs make a full recovery.
Additional Information:
- Coelogyne orchids contain a toxin called coelogynine, which can cause gastrointestinal upset, muscle weakness, and respiratory problems.
- The toxicity of Coelogyne varies depending on the species and the time of year.
- It is important to keep orchids and other potentially toxic plants out of reach of pets.
