Whether you are baking a nutty dessert or just setting out a snack, it only takes a second for your dog to ingest these dangerous nuts. If you notice any of the following, your dog could have come into contact with the nuts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Within 3-6 Hours of Ingestion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vomiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lethargy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fever<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Within 6-12 Hours of Ingestion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Difficulty walking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trouble with the rear limbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stiffness in the joints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muscle tremors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog has ingested any part of a macadamia nut, it is important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skycanyonanimalhospital.com\/blog\/understanding-and-enforcing-holiday-pet-safety-measures\/\">contact your veterinarian<\/a> as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dangers of Nut Exposure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While macadamia nuts are toxic to all dogs, small to mid-sized breeds will have strong reactions to small amounts of exposure. Small, mid-sized, and obese dogs are more susceptible to conditions like pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). If not caught early, pancreatitis could lead to other serious health issues like diabetes mellitus, or a bile duct obstruction, which is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skycanyonanimalhospital.com\/services\/surgical-procedures.html\">serious condition<\/a> that requires veterinary intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment for Macadamia Nut Poisoning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs that get fast veterinary care can be expected to make a full recovery within a few days. If you even suspect that your dog has ingested some macadamia nuts, it is important to schedule a visit with your veterinarian as soon as possible. Once your veterinarian has determined the severity of the toxicity, he or she can make a treatment plan to get your pets back to normal as soon as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skycanyonanimalhospital.com\/about\/\">Sky Canyon Animal Hospital<\/a>, we are here to help your pets live their best lives.
