Bergamot is a citrus fruit that is not typically toxic to dogs. However, the essential oil of bergamot can be toxic to dogs if ingested. Symptoms of bergamot essential oil poisoning in dogs can include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Drooling
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Respiratory depression
If you think your dog has eaten bergamot essential oil, call your veterinarian immediately. Treatment will depend on the severity of the poisoning and may include:
- Inducing vomiting
- Giving activated charcoal to absorb the toxin
- Providing fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration
- Monitoring your dog’s vital signs
- Treating any seizures or respiratory depression
If your dog has only eaten a small amount of bergamot fruit, it is unlikely to cause any problems. However, if you are concerned, you can call your veterinarian for advice.
