It doesn’t matter if the dog is occasionally greedy, but if it accidentally eats poisonous plants and cosmetics, it will kill the owner.
After writing about the plants and cosmetics that cats cannot eat, many owners of furry children asked Uncle Ba to publish a collection of plants and cosmetics that dogs cannot eat. No, today we are going to list the plants and cosmetics that dogs cannot touch!
Green Plants
1. Lily
Many people like lilies, and some people will also plant some lilies at home. The bulbs of lilies are rich in starch, and some of them can be eaten as vegetables. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lilies are slightly cold and have the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, clearing fire, calming the mind and calming the mind. The scaly stems can be used as medicine, making it a flower that can be used both as medicine and food.
There are many types of lilies, and at least 120 varieties have been discovered around the world. Most of these lilies are highly toxic to dogs. After a dog accidentally eats lilies, it may cause symptoms including vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, diarrhea, depression, kidney failure and other symptoms, and severe cases may lead to death.
2. Narcissus
Narcissus likes warmth, moisture and good drainage. It has been cultivated in China for more than a thousand years. It is a traditional ornamental flower and one of the top ten famous flowers in China. However, narcissus bulbs are juicy and poisonous, containing lycorine, narcissus and other alkaloids, which are often used as analgesics in surgery.
After dogs accidentally eat it, they will have adverse reactions such as convulsions, dilated pupils, and diarrhea.
3. Rhododendron
There are more than 60 species of poisonous plants in the genus Rhododendron in my country, most of which are unique to my country, and most of them are highly toxic and often cause poisoning of humans and animals.
Pet dogs may suffer from vomiting, drooling, diarrhea, fatigue and depression after accidentally eating cuckoo. In severe cases, it may lead to coma and death.
4. Dripping Water Guanyin
Dripping Water Guanyin, also known as "Drip Water Lotus". Under warm and humid conditions with sufficient soil moisture, water will drip downward from the leaf tips or leaf edges; and because the flowers bloom resemble Guanyin, it is called Dripping Guanyin. With its beautiful meaning, Dripping Water Guanyin has become a favorite domestic plant for many people.
However, it should be noted that the whole plant of Dishui Guanyin is poisonous and contains cyanogenic glycosides, calcium oxalate, etc. When the skin of pet dogs comes into contact with its juice, it will cause itching or strong irritation. Inadvertent consumption of stems and leaves can cause itching, stinging, vomiting, and diarrhea of the tongue and throat. In severe cases, there may be a risk of suffocation.
There are many strange plants in the world, and there are many plants that are poisonous to dogs, including oleander, Christmas red, daphne, dieffenbachia, iron tree, datura, tuberose, morning glory, potato leaves, hyacinth, ivy, yew, cyclamen, castor bean, cannabis, etc., which require special attention from owners.
Cosmetics
1. Cosmetics containing xylitol
Xylitol has good hygroscopicity and has the effect of moisturizing the skin. Therefore, xylitol can be added to cosmetics such as hand cream and lotion. If xylitol remains on the skin and is licked by a dog, it may cause liver damage. Although xylitol is safe for humans, it can be harmful to dogs.
Research shows that this component does not affect human blood sugar levels, but dogs’ insulin secretion will increase sharply after eating xylitol. Fifteen minutes after eating food containing 0.5g of xylitol, the dog's blood sugar dropped significantly. Relevant data show that large doses of xylitol are toxic to the liver of dogs.
2. Cosmetics containing heavy metals
Some heavy metals are added to cosmetics to whiten, enhance color, and resist wrinkles. Once ingested by dogs, vomiting, diarrhea, and liver and kidney failure may occur.
3. Cosmetics containing a large amount of organic compounds
Many synthetic organic compounds have good hydrating, moisturizing, and nourishing effects on the skin, but they are not edible. A wide variety of organic compounds may cause vomiting and diarrhea if ingested by dogs.
At home or on the road, be sure to prevent dogs from coming into contact with these poisonous plants. In addition, you must pay attention to the use of cosmetics in places that are easily licked by dogs, so that dogs can grow up healthily and happily every day.
So if you have dogs at home, it is best to place plants out of reach of dogs, and lock cosmetics in drawers to prevent greedy dogs from accidentally eating them and being poisoned. If you find that some plants seem to have been chewed, you should pay attention to the dog's mental state and reaction in the past few days to see if there are any abnormalities. If any abnormality is found, you should go to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.
If you find that your dog has eaten a poisonous plant by mistake, don’t panic, let alone give medicine to yourself. Adverse reactions usually occur quickly in poisoning. Once you find that you have eaten a substance that is confirmed to be toxic, you can induce vomiting immediately. At the same time, make arrangements to go to the hospital. If possible, be sure to bring the suspected poison with you so that the doctor can determine what type of poisoning it is and prescribe appropriate medicine.
