The toxic compound in yuki willow is called salicin, which can cause gastrointestinal upset, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. In severe cases, salicin can cause liver failure and death.
If your dog has eaten yuki willow, you should contact your veterinarian immediately. Your veterinarian will be able to assess the severity of your dog’s symptoms and recommend the best course of treatment.
In the meantime, you can try to induce vomiting by giving your dog a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. You can also give your dog activated charcoal to help absorb the toxin.
It is important to keep your dog away from yuki willow and other toxic plants. You should also supervise your dog when he is outside to prevent him from eating anything harmful.
