My dog ate gardenia, is vomiting/shaking. Does she need emergency vet?

Gardenia may cause mild gastrointestinal upset or hives if ingested. If Stussy ate a small amount, you may not see any signs, larger quantities may warrant a visit to your veterinarian. Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, difficulty breathing, itching or swelling. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants/gardenia

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Maddie. So the Boxwood tree is actually very poisonous to dogs, and in small dogs, it does not take too much to cause severe toxic symptoms, even death. One sign of toxicity is vomiting. Now without seeing her in person, I can't say if she will be ok and because this can be very serious, she should see a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

Hello, it looks like that may be a winterberry plant. The toxicity for this plants to dog is associated with vomiting and diarrhea with occasional lethargy. Most of the time, these signs are self limiting, however, severe vomiting and diarrhea should be assessed by your veterinarian. Further information on this plant and its toxicity, as well as other potential toxic plants could be attained from ASPCA Poison Control line by calling 888-426-4435. Call them and describe the plant to obtain more precise recommendations on wether Willow should be seen by a veterinarian today. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Yes, you should be worried. He could have eaten something poisonous or possibly ingested something that either irritated his stomach or is causing an obstruction. Please get him to your vet for an exam as soon as you can.

If the vomiting persist or there is bloody diarrhea, then you need to go to an ER clinic tonight. You can take her food and water away for the next 4-6 hours and let her stomach rest. Start back with a small amount of boiled chicken and rice or ice and see how she handles that or if she wants it. If she has no appetite or lethargic still by morning, then go to your regular vet.

In looking up this plant, I can't find any information that they are toxic to dogs, but it is possible that eating it upset her stomach. Given that Roxy isn't acting any differently and is eating, I wouldn't be too worried about her just yet. I would be more worried if she having persistent diarrhea, is vomiting frequently, and isn't eating or drinking. You can try offering her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. Should she return to normal (i.e. no vomiting or diarrhea), then she will be just fine. I would have her seen by a vet, however, if she starts vomiting more or having persistent diarrhea, or she stops eating and drinking. I hope this helps!

I'm so sorry that Bailee is so sick. It sounds like she needs to see a veterinarian immediately. If you know for sure that she got into a plant, you can contact the ASPCA poison control (https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control) which will help your veterinarian treat her. If you're not sure that she got into a plant, I would take her to your nearest emergency vet today. Puppies can get very sick from a number of different diseases and will get sicker faster than adult dogs. Puppies can quickly have problems getting dehydrated, having low blood sugar and having problems regulating their temperature when they get sick. Unfortunately, it can become very serious very quickly, so I would recommend seeking veterinary care right away. Good luck! I hope Bailee recovers quickly. I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
