Why this recommendation?
Citrus guidance is unsettled. Choosing an established alternative avoids testing an uncertain food.
What to prepare or check
Provide clean drinking water, not lemon juice.
When not to offer it
An avoidance recommendation does not mean every exposure is poisoning.
Already eaten? Start here
An “avoid” recommendation does not mean every accidental bite is poisoning. Ingredients, amount, time and the animal matter.
- Stop further access and keep the food or packaging.
- Record the species, product, estimated amount and time; say when an amount is unknown.
- For a known hazardous ingredient, or unusual weakness, tremors or breathing, contact a veterinarian promptly. Do not wait for symptoms after a known toxic exposure.
Do not induce vomiting or give human medicines on your own.
