Risks
- The oleander is loaded with many toxic agents such as nerioside, saponins, and cardiac glycoside. All parts of this plant are poisonous to dogs, especially its roots and stems which have high concentrations of these compounds.
- Dogs that consumed oleander are likely to manifest digestive issues such as vomiting and diarrhea as well as cardiac problems like heart arrhythmia. Neurological disorders such as tremors, depression, and seizures may also take place.
- Lapping up water or eating a food that contains oleander leaves or any part of this plant is enough to induce poisoning in canines.
