My dog ate a plant and had a seizure. What aftercare is needed?

I am afraid many toxic plants can cause that, so it is not possible to tell you what kind of plant that was. A photo of the plant, leaves, flower and root would help with the identification. Best either stop access of your dog to this plant (fence it) or remove the plant so he cannot eat more of it.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Seizures can result in lasting neurological damage, especially when the seizures are prolonged or severe. You can also have transient deficits in the post ictal (after -seizure) period that may resolve. You should bring your pet to a veterinarian for evaluation. Certainly seizures can be the result of a toxicity but, they may also be due to metabolic problems or primary neurologic issues. in addition, if he is having continual problems, there maybe treatment needed. I hope he is ok!

While the hibiscus is toxic to dogs, according to the ASCPA, it causes vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and anorexia. It does not cause seizures, but if Mia is having seizures, she should see a vet right away. Causes of seizures include low blood sugar, certain toxins, trauma to the head, liver disease, kidney failure, and brain tumors. She should be seen by a vet to determine the cause of her seizures so they can be treated. If Mia seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor her at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt himself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Bailey will likely be lethargic and incoordinated after this seizure and it will take a while for them to resolve. If Bailey has not been seen for these seizures by a veterinarian then I would highly recommend having Bailey examined by a vet so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. For now, let him rest and provide plenty of water for him. The sooner he is seen the better. Place him in a quiet area so that there are no triggers (light, noise, etc) that may set off another seizure. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I suggest you go to your local agricultural extension office and ask them to visit your place to determine what kind of plants grow there and whether they are toxic. If the extension office won;t come, then maybe a gardener or similar person can help, You can also take good photos of the plants (bark, leaves, flowers, fruit) and try to match them via one of the browsers on your computer. (Type: "Reverse image search" into your browser and that should bring up how and where).

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If no diagnostics have been performed yet, I would strongly recommend having Oscar's blood tested and see if there are any abnormalities moving forward. If there are no abnormalities, a neurologist would be the next one to see for a second opinion on why we may be seeing seizures in Oscar. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Maocai is adorable! Unfortunately prolonged/severe seizures can cause permanent brain damage and personality changes. Purina makes a prescription diet called Neurocare that is highly rated by owners of dogs with seizures, dementia and other cognitive issues. VetriScience also makes a senior multivitamin that is highly rated by owners who report that their dogs appear to be more alert and responsive after taking them regularly. I recommend inquiring with your veterinarian about a prescription for the Purina Neurocare diet. Good luck!
