My dog ate a lily petal. Is it toxic? What should I do immediately?

Lilies are not toxic to dogs although they can cause stomach upset. All parts of the lily plant are quite toxic to cats and cause kidney failure, but dogs seem to be resistant. If Zoey vomits or develops diarrhea you should see your veterinarian.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Peony can produce gastrointestinal symptoms, like vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, drooling when ingested in large amounts. If Echo ate only one petal, most likely she will be fine. Please, monitor her at home for the next 6-12hrs. If you notice any worrying symptoms, get in touch with your local vets.

Thanks for reaching out about Samson and including a photo. Stems and roots are much more toxic than flowers. A veterinary visit can provide a gastric lavage (flush) but you can not induce vomiting in rabbits. Monitor appetite and water intake. Good luck.

Oh no, that was naughty of Oliver to eat those greens! Certain varieties of the lily are toxic to dog, and eating these varieties can cause GI upset, anorexia, and tremors. You have seen some GI upset, and I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps him. Withhold food for 8-12 hours, then feed 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 his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

Hello and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Nimi getting into the belladonna lily. Sounds like the worst is over for her as far as this exposure situation. I would continue to monitor her for any other signs of ongoing problems from the exposure like vomiting, depression, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypersalivation, anorexia, tremors. If any of these signs return or linger, I would advise seeing your veterinarian ASAP. Kidney failure associated with toxin exposure is most often seen with an initial increase in thirst and urination frequency but as the kidneys become more damaged, they begin to shut down leading to a decreasing amount of urine produced. The kidneys can go into complete failure where no urine is produced at all and the pet quits urinating. So if you are noticing an increase in thirst and urination frequency/large volumes of urine produced or you notice no urination at all, I would consult your vet ASAP so they can get blood and urine to make sure the kidneys are functioning normally. Even if you don't see those signs and you want to make sure everything is ok, go to your vet and let them run some tests. In my opinion, sounds like the worst is over and preventing further exposure to the lily is all you need to do. Again, if you are concerned, your vet can run some tests on her urine and blood and evaluate her organ function. Good luck and I wish you and her the best!

Hi. Thank you for using PetCoach. I'm sorry Sriracha isn't feeling well. In general, we do not recommend any table food for dogs. Fat, skin and seasonings can cause GI upset and even pancreatitis in some dogs. Peace Lily can also be toxic to animals, so I would remove this plant to where she doesn't have access. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/mauna-loa-peace-lily/ I do no recommend mylanta. Allow her to have water but no food for ~12 hours, then offer her half of her normal dog food. If she tolerates that well, then she can have the rest of her food a couple hours later. If she has vomitting, excessive diarrhea or acts lethargic then she should be seen by a veterinarian for treatment. I hope she's back to normal quickly.

There are two types of geranium - the genus Geranium (cranesbill) is not toxic and will not cause any complications. The Pelargonium genus is toxic in sufficinet doses, epecially the leaves and stems so monitor closely and contact your emergency vet if signs or symptoms develop (vomiting, lethargy, depression) akthough these would not be expected if only a single petal was ingested https://www.allwoods.net/post/geranium-vs-pelargonium-what-s-the-difference
