Some plants in the house and garden, while beautiful to look at, can be very dangerous for your dog. You should know these tips!
In the garden
Tulips: outside hui, inside ugh. The ingredients tulip and the tulip sides A and B of the spring flower irritate your dog’s mucous membranes, resulting in gastrointestinal upset.
Rhododendron: In the worst case, the highly toxic leaves and flowers of the colorful plant can lead to colic. But vomiting, nausea, and circulatory problems are also possible.
Daffodils: This early bloomer triggers irritation of the mucous membranes, resulting in increased salivation and abdominal cramps. Pay special attention to the onion, where toxins are concentrated.
Lily of the valley: When eating this flower, your darling gets cramps, circulatory problems, and cardiac arrhythmia due to the dangerous glycosides. If ingested in large quantities, the toxins can also cause cardiac arrest.
Hyacinths: The calcium oxalate in the flowers, leaves, and tubers irritate the mucous membranes in your dog’s mouth and throat and lead to digestive disorders with cramps.
Thuja: The essential oils of the tree of life trigger cramps, nausea, nausea, flatulence, and diarrhea. Poisoning should be treated, otherwise, there is a risk of liver and minor damage.
Boxwood: Be careful with this plant too, because ingestion can cause poisoning with vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps.
Cyclamen: Beware, the bulbous thickening, in particular, poses a risk. In severe cases, vomiting, diarrhea, colic, and cramps lead to circulatory disorders, respiratory paralysis, and ultimately death.
Ivy: The leaves, stems, and fruits of the vine contain poisonous sap that irritates the mucous membranes and causes over-excitement with diarrhea, vomiting, and cramps.
In the room
Window leaf: Calcium oxalates and oxalic acid cause increased salivation with swallowing difficulties, but also vomiting and diarrhea.
Weeping fig: The white milky sap of the Ficus species triggers irritation of the mucous membranes, diarrhea, and vomiting in your curious four-legged friend.
Angel’s trumpet: It is one of the most poisonous representatives. Most of the poison is found in the roots and seeds of the plant. The symptoms can range from cardiac arrhythmia and shortness of breath to circulatory arrest.
If, despite your caution, your dog has eaten parts of one of these plants, keep calm. It is important to keep a close eye on him and look out for symptoms. If you are unsure, consult a veterinarian. Danger! Bouquets are also dangerous because the toxins of the flowers collect in the water.
