If your dog has eaten any part of a striped ash tree (Fraxinus striata), you should contact your veterinarian immediately.
Striped ash trees are toxic to dogs, and all parts of the tree can cause problems. The leaves, bark, and seeds all contain a toxin called fraxin, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, weakness, and seizures. In severe cases, fraxin can be fatal.
There is no specific antidote for fraxin poisoning, but your veterinarian can provide supportive care to help your dog recover. Treatment may include inducing vomiting, giving activated charcoal to absorb the toxin, and providing fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration.
It is important to keep your dog away from striped ash trees and any other toxic plants. If you have a striped ash tree in your yard, you should remove it or fence it off to prevent your dog from accessing it.
