The leaves of potatoes are highly poisonous

Friends who keep cats and dogs know that they like to eat plants very much. Dogs chew grass on the grass outside and flowers on the flowerpot at home. Cats eat flowers while playing, but they don’t know what they can eat and what they can’t eat. We often encounter cat and dog owners who find that the pet’s face is swollen, serious respiratory tract swelling affects breathing, and even kidney failure and death. The previous article “common plants not recommended for dogs and cats” mainly talked about the plants at home. Today we talk about the plants that dogs can’t eat outside.

Potato leaf: potato is the fourth largest food crop in the world and China is the largest producer. It is planted everywhere with different names. “Potato, potato, potato, potato, potato and Yang taro” are all. Because they contain a lot of starch and protein, many pet owners like to eat for dogs. Because dogs will remember the smell after eating habits. When they encounter wild or other people’s potatoes outside, they may also bite them. Potato itself has low toxicity, but potato leaves contain toxic alkaloids, mainly solanine and chitin. After eating by dogs, it will cause throat burning and pain and conjunctival congestion.

If the potato is germinated and turned green, the toxicity will increase a lot and produce alkaloids of solanine. Solanine is an irritant that is easily absorbed by cats and dogs. It will start to get sick 1-2 days after eating. If you don’t eat it, you will drool, vomit, diarrhea, rash and edema. Severe neurological symptoms, excitement, crazy running, and then turn into weakness, walking swing or even paralysis, weak breathing, trembling all over, and finally die.

Morning glory and azalea

Morning glory: This is a plant that will be planted on the green belts and walls of many communities. It is very beautiful after climbing the wall. When a dog passes by, it’s actually OK to bite one mouthful of morning glory, but if the dog eats too much, it will be poisoned, first affecting the gastrointestinal digestive system, vomiting, diarrhea and even bleeding. Serious will affect the brain nerve, nervous system diseases, convulsions and so on.

Rhododendron: one of the most popular flower varieties in China. It is found in many parks in China. It was originally a traditional Chinese medicine. It is used to treat internal injury, cough and kidney deficiency. However, dogs may vomit, nausea, lower blood pressure, dyspnea and coma after eating.

Weeping willows are poisonous to dogs, too?

Weeping willows: there are many weeping willows by the river in Beijing. In summer, they fall low to the ground, cool and quiet. However, if the dog bites a few weeping willow leaves when passing by, it may have mild poisoning symptoms, such as thirst, vomiting, vasodilation, blurred vision, and severe dyspnea and paralysis.

Nocturnal osmanthus: it is mainly characterized by the strong aroma of nocturnal flowers. Because it is an oxygen consuming plant, it is harmful to human health. It will emit a large number of strong smelling particles at night, so people are generally advised not to walk in nocturnal osmanthus. Dogs have a more serious impact on nocturnal incense. After eating some amount, it will cause muscle spasm, gastroenteritis and coma. In serious cases, it will lead to death

These plants are often planted on the roadside, Riverside or community garden, so when walking the dog, you see the dog biting the plants. You need to go and see what it is? Of course, if these plants are planted at home, the cat can’t touch them. Hang them as high as possible, or don’t let the cat go to the house with these plants.
