Reminder: keep your dogs safe from conkers this autumn 🌳
Conkers fall from the horse chestnut tree, common all over the UK. Conkers and acorns can be toxic to dogs and, in some cases, can even be deadly. They can lead to symptoms such as 👇
• Vomiting (being sick)
• Diarrhoea (an upset stomach)
• Stomach Pain
• Restlessness
• Urticaria (rash)
• Swelling around the eyes and mouth
• Not being able to move (or even collapsing)
If you are concerned your dog has chewed or consumed conkers or acorns, or is showing signs of illness, please contact a vet immediately.
