โ RAPESEED! โ
Itโs that time of year again when farmers' fields have blossomed into pretty yellow flowers. These plants are called rapeseed. Although it may be tempting to place your dog in the midst of taking a scenic photo, please avoid this at all costs!
Rapeseed is extremely poisonous for dogs, especially in highly sensitive canines.
Rapeseed is listed by Dogs Trust as toxic to our dogs if ingested and can cause symptoms such as:
โHaemolytic Anaemia
โ Blindness
โ Damaged Nervous System
โ Digestive Disorders
โ Breathing Problems
Even walking through these fields should be avoided! In June 2019, a dog was reported to be suffering from severe open wounds after running through a crop of rapeseed.
Please seek immediate veterinary attention if your dog shows any signs of rapeseed poisoning!
