To treat your dog for lovage poisoning, there are several steps that need to be done. First, the veterinarian will eliminate the toxins in your dog’s system with evacuation and will perform detoxification with fluid therapy. Medications will be given if needed, and observation will be done last.
Evacuation
Ipecac or hydrogen peroxide will be given to get your dog to vomit. Also, activated charcoal will be given by mouth to absorb any leftover toxins and plant residue.
Detoxification
Detoxing your dog starts with a gastric lavage, done by cleansing the intestinal system with warm sterile water. After this is done, the veterinarian will give intravenous (IV) fluids to flush the kidneys and prevent dehydrations.
Medication
If your dog is still vomiting, an antiemetic will be given to help control it. Since the effects only last about 24 hours, your pet will be out of danger quickly as long as you get help from a qualified veterinary professional. An anesthetic and anti-itch cream will be prescribed for the contact dermatitis and sun exposure.
