If your dog eats celosia flowers or leaves, please take the following steps:
- Contact a veterinary hospital immediately
Celosia is a plant that is poisonous to dogs. Symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and loss of energy. Even if your pet ingested a small amount, contact your veterinarian immediately and follow your veterinarian’s instructions.
- Check the amount and time you eat
When contacting the veterinary clinic, please be as accurate as possible in stating the amount and time your pet ate. The more you eat, the more severe your poisoning symptoms may become.
- take the part you ate
When contacting a veterinary hospital, bring the ingested celosia flowers and leaves with you to aid in diagnosis and treatment.
- Observe your dog
Please monitor your dog until you contact the veterinary clinic. If your pet shows symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea, do not forcefully give them water or food, and take them to a veterinary hospital immediately.
Symptoms of dogs that eat celosia flowers and leaves include:
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- Anorexia
- Loss of energy
- Drool
- trembling
- convulsions
- difficulty breathing
If any of these symptoms appear, take your dog to the vet immediately.
Also, celosia is poisonous not only to dogs but also to humans. If you accidentally eat celosia, you may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If you experience any of these symptoms, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
In addition, celosia contains colchicine, which is a toxic ingredient. Colchicine affects the heart, nerves, digestive system, etc. and causes symptoms of toxicity.
If you are planting celosia in your garden or flower bed, you need to be careful to prevent dogs and small children from accidentally ingesting it.
