Ornithogalum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae. It includes about 200 species native to the Mediterranean region, southern Africa, and western Asia. Many species are cultivated as ornamental plants.
The bulbs of ornithogalum plants contain alkaloids that can be toxic to dogs if ingested. Symptoms of ornithogalum poisoning in dogs can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Weakness
- Tremors
- Convulsions
- Respiratory distress
- Cardiac arrhythmias
If you think your dog has eaten ornithogalum, it is important to seek veterinary attention immediately. There is no specific antidote for ornithogalum poisoning, but treatment will focus on supportive care to manage the symptoms and prevent complications.
Treatment may include:
- Inducing vomiting to remove any remaining plant material from the stomach
- Administering activated charcoal to absorb any toxins that have been ingested
- Providing intravenous fluids to support blood pressure and prevent dehydration
- Monitoring the dog’s vital signs and providing supportive care as needed
The prognosis for dogs who have ingested ornithogalum depends on the amount of plant material ingested and the severity of the symptoms. With prompt veterinary treatment, most dogs make a full recovery.
Prevention
The best way to prevent ornithogalum poisoning in dogs is to keep them away from the plants. If you have ornithogalum plants in your yard, be sure to fence them off or otherwise make them inaccessible to your dog. You should also avoid using ornithogalum leaves or flowers in bouquets or arrangements that your dog may have access to.
