My 5-month-old dragon accidentally ate a few of my cherry tomato leaves and I'm very worried. I didn't know they were toxic.
I don't have any activated charcoal on hand unfortunately. I searched through old posts on here and fed him a slurry of parsley and cilantro (as it seems like that has some de-toxifying effects?). He ate around 3 small tomato leaves and I gave him about half a tablespoon of the parsley/cilantro slurry.
He is acting mostly normal right now and he ate the leaves about 30 minutes ago. His color is normal and he is actively walking around. He has pooped and eaten since then as well. However, he is gaping his mouth a little bit.
Our local exotic vet is closed right now and doesn't open till Monday morning, so it's not an option.
I have a CVS Pharmacy nearby and they have some activated charcoal products, but I have no idea what to buy. Would this work? https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-activate-charcoal-capsules-36ct-prodid-1660002
I know I made two big mistakes here, one by letting him eat the leaves and two by not having any activated charcoal on hand already. Is there anything else I can possibly give him right now? He isn't drinking much water. I'm thinking about force-feeding some water but I don't want to stress him out or choke him.
