00:00You don't want to end up in the emergency room because of this plant.

00:03Yes, you want?

00:04It's a poinsettia.

00:05It's also called a Christmas star.

00:07It's super beautiful, it's glittery.

00:08Everyone buys it for Christmas.

00:10Everyone.

00:10And the crazy thing, and we don't know it,

00:12is that it contains latex, which is toxic for your dog or your cat.

00:16Especially in the leaf and in the stems.

00:19Ah, the stems.

00:20There, you ask yourself, ok, well, what risks my animal?

00:23In case of contact with the mucous membranes,

00:24it can be a redness in the eyes or swelling of the eyelids,

00:28conjunctivitis, or even inflammation of the skin

00:30which can start to clog, to develop small clots.

00:33Then, if you see your dog with a muzzle,

00:35be careful.

00:35Symptoms of digestive problems, stomach aches, diarrhea.

00:39But you should also know that the plant causes irritations

00:41at the level of the animal's mouth.

00:43A hyper-salivation.

00:44You're going to have an animal that's going to salivate a lot.

00:46It's going to drool.

00:47A swelling of the lips, possible,

00:49or even an oedema of the throat.

00:50That's in the most serious cases.

00:52Well, what do you do in there?

00:53Well, already, if you use this kind of decoration,

00:55you put it well out of the reach of your animal.

00:58Then, if there is a contact with the eyes,

01:00you rinse with water right away.

01:01See if you have physiological serums.

01:03You can find them at the pharmacy, you can find them everywhere.

01:05It's always good to have some at home.

01:06Good for you.

01:06And then, if there is salivation,

01:08if there are rather digestive problems,

01:09well, go see your vet.

01:11You don't eat bread.

01:12I assure you, it always ends up almost well.

01:14The big, big intoxicants with poinsettia are still very rare

01:17and it would be necessary for the animal to be able to swallow a crazy amount.

01:20But hey, you have to know,

01:21we're still going to avoid unpleasantness at Christmas.

01:23No, thank you.

01:24Not too much, no.

01:25If you found this interesting,

01:26share the video, after liking it, of course.

01:29Leave a little comment if you also use these little plants for decoration.

01:32If you have an animal, and even if you don't,

01:34subscribe.

01:34Wait a minute, because you're eating like I'm eating.
