If your dog accidentally eats peony flowers or leaves, the following steps may help:
Contact your veterinarian: First, contact your veterinarian immediately. Peonies are among the plants that are poisonous to dogs and require immediate medical attention. Your veterinarian will be able to assess the situation and recommend appropriate treatment.
Monitor symptoms: Pay close attention to your dog’s behavior and symptoms. Symptoms of peony poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive salivation, excitement, convulsions, and heart problems. Report any of these symptoms to your veterinarian.
Poison information: Tell your vet in detail how much your dog has ingested and which parts. Different parts of the peony 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 sorbents: Follow your veterinarian’s instructions and use toxic sorbents if necessary. This helps absorb and excrete toxins.
Therapy: Your veterinarian may suggest fluid therapy or other treatments if necessary.
Peony is a plant that is poisonous to dogs. It is very important to follow your veterinarian’s guidance and seek professional help immediately.
