Hi all, we recently moved to a new house bought from a friend of mine. We have a black lab, Scooby, 6 months old. Since 2 days he is showing some irritations like vomiting and is not having enough food too. We took him to the doctor and he said our lab has ingested something that he is not supposed to take in. I am really worried about him and couldn’t find a solution. While surfing, I saw a blog [ http://inthebackyard.ca/4-backyard-plants-that-are-poisonous-to-your-pets/ ] mentioning some plants that cause our pets to fall sick. Holy crap! We have a lily garden, bloomed to the fullest. It was planted by the owner of this house and we used to take Scooby for a walk to the nearby garden in the evenings. I guess this could be the only reason for his illness. He might have accidently ingested the plant. I just don’t know what to do. It would be of great help if you could give me some replies.
I would take him back to the vet, and tell him of the plant you think he may of possibly ingested. The longer you leave it the sicker he may become. Call the vet urgently. I hope scooby makes a full recovery.
Agree with the previous advice to go back to the vet but would also be good to have details about the type of lily etc as there are so many varieties. It should help your vet to take the appropriate course of treatment
Yes, back to the Vet. Take some vomit with you so the Vet can see what's in it. And a stool sample. Maybe urine too. Closely examine your garden to find out which plants look chewed. In my experience you may be able to see ragged chewed edges on some big leaves. I wonder if the previous owners cleaned the house before you moved in and there is still toxic residue in the air, on surfaces? That could make a puppy sick. Probably a child too, children roll around on rugs like puppies do. How do the rest of you feel? Nobody else sick or smelling something off or having breathing difficulty? If the house is very new it could be gassing off. Some folks are very sensitive to that, maybe some puppies too. New carpet, cupboards, furniture can gas off.
