These current foods could make your dog seriously ill – or worse
It is well known that Great Britain is a nation of dog lovers, with more than a third of British households being the proud owner of a faithful dog. Most owners would do everything to protect the safety of their animals – but some dangers are easy to neglect.
Certain foods that are basic foods of the average human consumption may be toxic to dogs. Veterinarian Amir Anwary, also known as Amirthevet on Tiktok, recently highlighted five fruits and vegetables that can harm dogs.
According to The Animal Expert, it is better to keep these items away from your beloved pets because they can be extremely dangerous, reports the Mirror. Here are five common toxic fruits and vegetables for dogs.
Raisins and raisins
You may not know it, but the grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs. Severity can vary from one dog to another but, in extreme cases, eating these fruits can cause renal insufficiency or even death.
Even a small amount can cause significant damage. If your dog has eaten one of these fruits, he can show symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy and weakness, abdominal pain and increased alcohol consumption.
Onions
Onions are also dangerous and can have fatal consequences for dogs. Indeed, they contain compounds that can damage red blood cells, leading to anemia.
Dogs do not have the enzymes necessary to decompose these compounds safely. Each part of the onion is toxic, including the bulb, leaves, juice and transformed powders.
Signs of onion intoxication in dogs include vomiting, diarrhea, reduction in appetite, abdominal pain, pale gums, lethargy, weakness and loss of balance.
Lawyer
Avocats can also be harmful to dogs. Although some suggest that small amounts of lawyer flesh are unlikely to cause problems, the risks associated with lawyers prevail over potential advantages.
Fruits, pits and leaves contain toxin that can cause vomiting, diarrhea and even cardiac damage. They are also rich in fats, which can trigger pancreatitis.
In addition, the pit or the stone of a lawyer can present a risk of suffocation and potentially block the intestine.
Macadamia nuts
Macadamia nuts are toxic to dogs and can cause vomiting, weakness and lethargy. Although the effects are often light, serious cases may require veterinary attention.
Symptoms include vomiting, weak rear legs, diarrhea, pancreatitis, loss of appetite, stomach pain, decrease in activity, fever and inability to stand up.
Garlic
Garlic is toxic to dogs because it contains allyle sulfides. Consumption can lead to liver damage, destruction of red blood cells and anemia. If your dog has eaten garlic, panels such as drool, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, tremors and potentially crises can occur.
It is important to remember that these symptoms do not necessarily mean that your dog has consumed these foods. However, if you suspect or know that they have done so, it is crucial to ask for immediate advice from a veterinarian.
Before trying any treatment, always ask for professional advice. A veterinarian can help you take the fastest and most efficient action.
