If your dog has eaten a scabiosa, it is important to monitor them closely for any signs of illness. Scabiosa plants contain saponins, which can be toxic to dogs. Symptoms of saponins poisoning can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Drooling
- Abdominal pain
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Respiratory distress
If your dog experiences any of these symptoms, it is important to seek veterinary attention immediately.
In the meantime, you can try to induce vomiting by giving your dog 1 tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. You can also give your dog activated charcoal to help absorb the toxins.
Activated charcoal is available at most pharmacies.
It is important to keep your dog hydrated by offering them plenty of water.
If your dog does not improve within a few hours, it is important to seek veterinary attention.
