Ate Marigolds! Henry just ate some Marigold flowers (maybe 1-2 hrs ago) and just started vomiting. 3 times so far, the first had the petals in it, the 2nd two were brown liquid. Please help! thx |
You might want to call an emergency vet. I dont know if marigolds are toxic to dogs but it sure seems he is having a reaction to eating them |
Marigolds - CALL YOUR VET!!! I just found this by typing "Can dogs eat marigolds?" into Google Hope this helps. Some plants hide deadly poisons in their leaves, seeds, flowers or berries. These poisons can affect the gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system or nervous system and may cause death. It is important to know what plants are in your home and yard and what symptoms poisonous plants can cause. Plants containing saps or resins can irritate a pet's mouth, pharynx or esophagus, causing excessive salivation, swelling, vomiting, abnormal heart rhythms, labored breathing, collapse, skin rashes or itching. Some plants can cause blood abnormalities, such as anemia, jaundice, urinary tract disorders or kidney failure. Signs to look for are pale gums, yellow eye whites or bloody urine. Other signs of poisoning include depression, aberrant behavior or shaking. If your pet shows any of these symptoms, take note of the plants it may have had access to and call poison control or your vet immediately. It would be impossible to list all the plants that may be dangerous to pets, but the following list gives some common plants that are considered poisonous. There is also a list of safe plants. Azalea Boxwood Bulb flowers: Amaryllis, Daffodil, Hyacinth, iris Caladium Chrysanthemum Creeping Charlie/pilea Dieffenbachia (dumb cane) Elephant Ears/Taro Foxglove Fruit Pits: almond, apples, apricot, cherry, peach, pear, plum Hemlock Holly Hydrangea Ivy (all varieties) Jerusalem cherry Jimson weed/Thorn Apple Lantana Larkspur/Delphinium Lily of the Valley Marigold Marijuana Mistletoe Monkshood Morning glory Nightshade (all varieties) Nicotiana Oleander Philodendron Pointsettia SAFE PLANTS African violet Aloe Baby Tears Bamboo Begonia Bougainvillea Coleus Jade Plant Kalanchoe Norfolk Island Pine Palms Pepperomia Prayer Plant Petunia Wandering Jew Zebra Plant Permission to reprint is allowed as long as the following is included....

Based on Kriston's post I would get him to the vet ASAP and or call posion control. Keep us posted. |
This is probably already on our forum somewhere, but just in case you need this info quick... The National Animal Poison Control Center (NAPCC) provides a 24-hour emergency hotline that every dog owner should keep in plain sight. The hotline numbers are (800) 548-2423 and (900) 680-0000. The 800 number requires a credit card and charges a flat $30. The 900 number is $2.95 per minute for a maximum of $30. Know in advance the phone number and address of a 24-hour emergency vet in your area. I sure hope your baby is doing okay. Please keep us posted! |
I found this: Non Poisonous Plants for Dogs and Cats Plants that are 'Non' Poisonous to Dogs and Cats Below is a list of plants that are not poisonious to dogs and cats. This list was put together by the Animal Poison Control Center. More information can be found by visiting ASPCA's web site. Should your dog or cat eat one of these plants and have a reaction; take your pet and a sample of the plant to your local vet immediately. Garden marigold http://www.petfriendlyhouse.com/info...us_plants.aspx BUT the marsh marigold is poisonous (the young leaves and stems).

Here is another link that I came across using Google: http://members.cox.net/jonanyorkies/aapoison.htm |
How is Henry today? Please let us know what the vet said. |
Update on Henry Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. First of all, thanks for all the info. I pasted it to a WORD doc, printed and posted it for future reference. Henry continued to vomit and I rushed him to the hospital. While the vet felt that he didn't eat enough to poisen him, he did feel that at the very least it upset his stomach. He was also quite dehydrated. After meds and SQ fluids, I was sent home with instructions for a bland diet and to F/U with my vet Monday. Labs were drawn this week because of Henry's history of finicky eating, refusal to drink fluids and no weight gain in the past 2 months (previously chalked-up to the 1st 2 issues). Both the ER vet and my regular vet hinted that Henry may have what is called "Liver Shunts". His lab work came back and shows that he does have problems with his liver. Next he'll have what is called a bile-acids test and then an ultrasound to determine if and where the shunts are located. I am going to start a new thread about this and hope that someone has information or experience with this problem. I thank you in advance. alley |
