If your dog just ate pine cones, you will want to look out for these symptoms. Often, these symptoms won’t be very severe if they just ate a small number of pine cones, so you’ll want to pay close attention to any of these symptoms.
No appetite
If your dog doesn’t seem to be eating so much anymore, that could be a symptom of pine cone poisoning. This can take a while to detect, but it’s safe to say that after around a day of not really eating – you should contact your vet.
No energy
If your dog suddenly just sleeps around and doesn’t move that much anymore, this is likely due to the andromedotoxin’s effect. This can cause heart and muscle problems in your dog.
Pay attention to how they walk as well. If they’re a little wobbly, then that is a symptom. If they fall down or act dizzy, contact your vet.
Vomiting
Vomiting is a symptom if your dog’s body ingests too much of anything. This is a good thing because they’re getting toxic out of their body. This typically happens around one hour after eating the pine cones.
Diarrhea
Same deal with vomiting, if your dog’s body ingests too much of anything bad, they will expel it and that’s a good thing.
