Day 6: Spring Pet Poisons - Daffodils contain lycorine which can trigger vomiting. Ingestion of the bulb, plant or flower can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and even possible cardiac arrhythmias or respiratory depression. Daffodil ingestions can result in more severe symptoms.🌼 - Ingestion of the Crocus flower can cause general gastrointestinal upset including vomiting and diarrhea. These should not be mistaken for Autumn Crocus, part of the Liliaceae family, which contain colchicine. The Autumn Crocus is highly toxic and can cause severe vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, liver and kidney damage, and respiratory failure. Signs may be seen immediately but can be delayed for days. - The toxic principle for Tulips is very concentrated in the bulbs. When the plant parts or bulbs are chewed or ingested, it can result in tissue irritation to the mouth and esophagus. Typical signs include profuse drooling, vomiting, or even diarrhea, depending on the amount consumed. With large ingestions of the bulb, more severe symptoms such as an increase in heart rate and changes in respiration can be seen. 🌷 - Although most fertilizers are not very toxic (resulting in minor gastrointestinal irritation when consumed), some fertilizers can be fatal without treatment. Some ingredients to be aware are blood meal, rose and plant fertilizers, pesticides/ insecticides, and iron. For more information about the topics above make sure to go to the Pet Poison Helpline website to learn more! If you suspect your pet may have ingested one of the items above make sure to give us a call at 407.604.3043 or contact the Pet Poison Helpline at 844.492.9842! ☎️🐾

Day 5: Easter Pet Poisons Easter is right around the corner and although the vibrant colors and tasty chocolates are delightful to us our pets cannot say the same. Certain types of chocolate such as baker’s chocolate and dark chocolate pose the biggest problem. Although chocolate can be very toxic to dogs, the darker and more bitter the chocolate, the greater the danger. This is because of a chemical toxicity called methylxanthines (a relative of caffeine) and results in vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, an abnormal heart rhythm, seizures, and possibly death. Easter Lilies which are traditionally white can also be other colors as well such as white with a pink tint. A flower which is beautiful to look at but are highly toxic to cats! With the Easter Lily every part is toxic. Early signs include vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy and dehydration. These flowers can cause kidney failure and the symptoms will worsen as kidney failure develops. Some cats will experience disorientation, staggering and seizures as well. You’ll want to keep these up and away from cats where they won’t be grooming! Easter grass comes in a variety of colors and can be very harmful to cats and dogs. Easter grass is commonly found in Easter baskets. When your cat or dog ingests something “stringy” like Easter grass, it can become anchored around the base of the tongue or stomach. This makes it unable to pass through the intestines. It can result in a linear foreign body and can cause severe damage to the intestinal tract, often requiring expensive abdominal surgery. If you suspect that your dog or cat got into any of the three listed above or suspect it may have ingested something toxic call us or the Pet Poison Helpline immediately! Remember the sooner the better it is always important to act fast! Make sure to like and share 🥰🐾💗

• DO’S ✅ Joining a parade is a great way to get out and make sure your pup is getting it’s daily exercise! See if there are any local parades that are animal friendly. ✅ Doing a photo shoot is a fun way to spend one on one time with you’re pet! Dress them up and get creative with the background! Make sure to send us your St. Patrick’s day photos to be featured on our Instagram and Facebook! ✅ Want to make some delicious treats? Linked below are some vet approved recipes! - http://stylishpaws.co.za/2017/03/17/happy-st-patricks-day/ - https://www.beaglesandbargains.com/st-patricks-day-green-frozen-dog-treat-recipe/ - https://www.messforless.net/catnip-cat-treats-recipe/ • DON’TS ❌ Although shamrocks are pretty to look at they can be very toxic to dogs and cats! Make sure to keep these away from your furry friends. Some symptoms to look out for are upset stomach, drooling, shaking of the head, and decreased appetite. ❌ High salty and fatty foods can cause pancreatitis in animals a healthy option to cook for your pet(s) would be steamed rice and steamed chicken! Feel free to add in steamed or raw veggies like carrots and broccoli! Remember not to add in any butter or seasonings. While this may taste good to us it can leave our animals with a bad tummy ache. Concerned your pet(s) may have eaten something it wasn’t supposed? Call the Pet Poison Helpline at (844)492-9842 or contact us at (407)604-3043. 💗🍀🐾 #stpatricksday #dogs #cats #green #pinchme #makesuretoweargreen
