My dog Daisy just chewed on my monstera plant. Should I be freaking out? Is this dangerous? Do I need to call a vet? I left the pantry open and she grabbed it off the counter. What do I do now?

Hey there! I totally understand your worry — let's get Daisy feeling better. First off, don't panic. Monstera plants contain insoluble calcium oxalates, which can cause irritation but are not life-threatening.

Keep an eye on Daisy. Some symptoms to watch for include:

• Oral irritation or drooling
• Swelling around the mouth or face
• Pawing at her face or mouth
• Nausea or vomiting

If you notice Daisy is experiencing mild signs like some drooling or minor irritation, it's generally not an emergency. You can try to gently rinse out her mouth with fresh water to help alleviate discomfort. Keep her calm and offer plenty of cool water to drink.

However, if Daisy shows significant swelling, difficulty breathing, or vomiting, then it's time to call a vet. Those symptoms can indicate a more severe reaction that needs professional attention.

While Monstera plants are not as dangerous as chocolate or grapes, always better to be safe. If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
