My dog keeps eating coriander. Is it safe for him in large amounts?

Yes, this is safe to give Loki, but cilantro is only recommended to give in small amounts occasionally. I would not give this combination to him every day, he will get all the nutrients he needs from his puppy food.

Depending on the amount ingested, you may see vomiting and/or diarrhea within the next 12 hours. Usually, either can be managed with a 24 hour fast followed by a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain in addition to persistent GI upset. See your veterinarian if symptoms worsen, do not resolve or if any of these other symptoms are observed.

No this should not be toxic to the point of life-threatening illness if a little is swallowed. At most, you may see some stomach upset (vomiting, diarrhea) in which case a bland diet of boiled plain chicken OR lean ground turkey and rice can be given to help settle the stomach. Otherwise, Sooky should be fine moving forward. Take care : )

If your dog eats some grass that had fertilizer applied to it, it rarely leads to serious poisoning; that said, more serious signs can be seen when the product is directly ingested (i.e., right out of the bag). If ingested directly from the bag, the results can include tremors and seizures. The most important thing is to make sure it’s not a fertilizer that has more dangerous products in it – some may contain iron, which can result in iron poisoning, and less common types may contain very dangerous insecticides such as carbamates or organophosphates. Thankfully, the EPA has limited the availability of these latter, more dangerous types of products. Carbamates and organophosphates can result in more serious, life-threatening clinical signs such as, drooling, vomiting, severe lethargy/collapse, diarrhea, excessive tearing, urination, abnormal heart rates, difficulty breathing (due to bronchoconstriction), tremors, seizures and death. If you suspect that your dog may have been exposed to something poisonous, contact your veterinarian or emergency veterinarian immediately. When in doubt, call ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. They may be able to instruct you on how to induce vomiting and whether or not there is a poisoning risk.

There does not appear to be any literature or case reports of hornworms having any toxic or adverse effects when eaten by dogs, so she's most likely safe to eat as much as she wants. However, without any good studies, there is no way to know if they have any longterm effects. If she seems to be tolerating them well (not vomiting, or any other obvious changes), then there is little concern that they would be harmful. I hope that helps and all is well with Katie.

It sounds like you did the right thing for Loki so far. If you ever have questions about what is safe to give him or your other pets, please feel free to ask us here on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is what we are here for. I'm sure your vet's office would not mind to answer questions if you call them either. Keep an eye on Loki for the next few days because, as you already know, onions can be very dangerous in these little guys. If you notice that Loki seems more lethargic or tired than normal, take him to your vet right away. Once there your vet can perform a lab test (a CBC) to make sure the onions did not cause a problem.

Oh no, that's not good that Layla ate a petal from a lily! As I'm sure you know, the lily is toxic to dogs and causes GI upset, anorexia, and tremors. Typically a dog has to eat large amounts of it to cause these symptoms, so one petal may not be enough to cause any problems. I would watch Layla for now, and if you do see any GI upset in the form of vomiting or diarrhea, I can give you a home remedy to try. Withhold food for 12-24 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 the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Good luck, and I hope this helps!
