If your dog has eaten geranium flowers or leaves, the following steps may help:
Contact your veterinarian: First, contact your veterinarian. Geraniums are poisonous plants to dogs and require immediate medical attention. Your veterinarian will be able to assess the situation and advise you on the appropriate course of action.
Watch for symptoms: Pay close attention to your dog’s behavior and symptoms. Symptoms of geranium poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive salivation, excitement, convulsions, and heart problems. Report any of these symptoms to your veterinarian.
Poison information: Tell your veterinarian how much your dog has ingested and what parts it has ingested. Different types of geraniums may have different toxicity.
Don’t make your dog vomit: Don’t let your dog vomit on his own. Inducing vomiting incorrectly may have the opposite effect.
Toxic adsorbents: Toxic adsorbents may be administered if directed by your veterinarian. This helps absorb and excrete toxins.
Therapy: Your veterinarian may suggest fluid therapy or other treatments if necessary.
Geraniums are poisonous to dogs, so it is very important to follow your veterinarian’s guidance and seek professional help immediately.
