FLOWERS OF SPRING AND SUMMER DANGEROUS FOR DOGS
Now that you know better the dark side of your garden, it is paramount to understand what are the main toxic plants and flowers for the dog in the spring and summer. Some Flowers are a medicine that is both straightforward and subtle. “It is true that one can easily use them successfully in self-medication, but sometimes a mediator is needed to decipher attitudes and to prescribe 2/3 adapted species,” says Sophie Goetz, a consultant specializing in Flowers -animal communication. Considering the past of the animal and temperament, the therapist will reformulate in a neutral language describing the problem and the potential for plant transformation. It can also give boards of education, which, in parallel processing, will return to a situation calmed between master and dog. However, other flowers are both dangerous to human beings as well as for dogs. Kindly read through and you will be surprised.
Thrush
The entire thrush is toxic to dogs (and even more for the cat). Symptoms of poisoning thrush may develop over 72 hours. Unlike chemicals toxic to dogs that attack the nervous system, thrush is cardiotoxic (even dried).
Some flowers have hundreds of different varieties, and there are less toxic in the same family, such as the thrush, Lily. In this family, there are still many flowers toxic to dogs.
Hyacinths
Easy to grow, it is a great favorite of the gardens which is why the hyacinth is a dangerous poison for cats and dogs. Of the lily family (really!), It is especially the bulb hyacinth which is toxic as the bulb of tulips, narcissi, and daffodils. But poisoning is rarely severe. It causes the dog to vomit fairly quickly, and it often causes diarrhea.
Anemone
The anemone is a flower from late spring (May — June), and there are many different species. An example is the Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) found mostly in mountainous areas (throughout Europe). It is mostly white. It takes a small amount to kill a dog. All anemones are toxic to dogs, animals, and humans, because of the anemonin. Symptoms: it irritates the mucous membranes and causes blistering. It can also cause tremors and even seizures.
Tulip
The tulip flower is slightly toxic to dogs and contains poison in the bulb. Excessive salivation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are the most frequent symptoms if a dog eats tulip or chews. However, consumed in larger amounts, it can cause severe irritation: the esophagus.
Daffodil
Sometimes called narcissus, daffodil would make the dog vomit whatever the consumed part, stem or bulb.
Ivy
Summer creeper, ivy (Hedera helix) produces a small purple berry toxic to dogs (and humans). In addition to diarrhea, it can cause breathing difficulties.
Cyclamen
It smells good and blooms from March. It is the sap cyclamen which is extremely toxic to the dog (and roots). Rarely is it deadly, but in the case of significant ingestion of cyclamen, the dog may have seizures.
Rhododendron
It blooms from March to June. All parts of the rhododendron are poisonous but mostly leaves that make dogs vomit. It is one of those flowers that necessarily cause stomach upset after mucosal irritation. But too much of the rhododendron is very dangerous for the dog’s heart. The azalea (rhododendron type) could even cause a coma in severe cases.
The yew
Shrub formidable spring for dogs, seeds, and leaves of the yew are highly toxic, often fatal, attacking the heart. Very bitter, it is rare that the seeds of the yew are consumed. By cons, except for the red berry, the whole plant is poisonous.
Oleander
The oleander (Nerium Oleander) is a flower of spring and is extremely dangerous for dogs because everything is toxic in small doses.
Arum
Poisonings are not uncommon. The arum is very toxic to dogs. All parts of the arum are poison, and if he chews the leaves or fruit, it burns and it makes him drool. It can also cause swelling and difficulty breathing. After swallowing your dog might experience vomiting, diarrhea and more severe symptoms, convulsions to coma — because of “oxalate crystals.”
Conclusion
When you have a dog and a garden it is better not to grow certain flowers. With the return of spring, without being paranoid, be cautious about what our dogs sniff and “graze” on the outside — but also in the house especially if you go on holiday with relatives who plants inside.
In fact, plants and flowers are also very nasty mostly those who stink the most or have the most disgusting taste.
