My dog ate snow on the mountain plant. What symptoms to watch for?

Bag balm is non toxic, but it could cause Snow some GI upset in the form of vomiting or diarrhea if she ate a lot of it. Should you see that, withhold food for 12 to 24 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 her normal diet.

If you are worried she ingested an object, like a sock or shoe then you would watch for signs of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain, lethargy, or straining to defecate. If you are worried about a toxin ingestion these signs can vary widely and can include GI upset, rapid breathing or heart rate, excessive drooling, trembling, seizures, drunken appearance/gait, dilated pupils, pale gums, lethargy. If any of these signs occur seek veterinary care right away.

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.

I don’t blame Sammy - those sound delicious! :) He should be fine except for some minor GI upset. I would watch for restlessness, dilated pupils, panting excessively, muscle tremors and worst case scenario, seizures. If anything like that is noted, I would take him to the emergency clinic. If he gets an upset tummy, you can try to withhold his food for 24 hours then start feeding him small amounts of boiled chicken (no bones) and white rice to try and settle his tummy. If his GI upset isn’t improving, I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to get him started on some meds to make him feel better. I hope this helps!

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Ranger! That was naughty of him to get onto the counter and eat the biscuits. So there is a risk that these biscuits could cause bloat. If he ate them within the past two hours, I'd take him into a vet immediately to induce vomiting. If it's been longer than two hours, signs of bloat include drooling, anxiety, restlessness, pacing, trying to vomit but can't, and bloating of the abdomen. Should you see any of those signs, it is a medical emergency and you need to get him into a vet right away. Best of luck.

That was naughty of Daedra to eat that tree lichen! This lichen is likely fungus, and while most types of fungi are mildly or non toxic, there are some kinds that can cause severe symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, and abdominal pain. You could take her into a vet now to have vomiting induced with a shot to get the lichen out of her stomach and take away any risk of toxicity. You can also choose to monitor her over the next 24-48 hours, and if you see any of the symptoms I mentioned above, take her into a vet immediately for treatment. I hope this helps!

I was unable to find a hyanthia plant by searching Google and I'm thinking that you potentially meant a hyacinth plant. Hyacinths contain alkaloids that can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea. The bulb is the most toxic, but other parts of the plant can be toxic as well. If only a few leaves were nibbled it is less likely that you will see signs than if all of the plant and the bulb was ingested. If you see any vomiting, decreased appetite, or diarrhea I'd recommend taking your dog to an emergency veterinarian. If you didn't mean a hyacinth plant feel free to repost your question with the latin name of the plant.
