Azalea Ingested

Not open for further replies.
Hello,
How toxic are azaleas to reptiles? My beardie ate about .2g of leaves. He's ~460g, and I don't have any activated charcoal on hand, neither do my neighbors. I hope not to offend anyone. I would be going out and getting some right now instead of making a post but I have a final test for a class which I will automatically fail if I miss it. Thank you for understanding.

Hello,

They are somewhat toxic, how is he acting?
Do you have any parsley, cilantro, mint, oregano & basil? Just a couple of them would be
fine. Blend them up with some water to make a paste & then using a plastic dropper or a
syringe get some into her, a couple of times per day.
They can help detoxify the system a bit.
Let us know how he is doing!

Hi, thank you, I offered him some of the green slush and he's taking to it. He seems to be doing okay :) Just in case somebody with the same issue comes across this, I turned his heat lamp off to try and slow down digestion until I was able to get some act. charcoal a few hours after. I'm not sure if it made a difference but I hope it helped.

Hello,

That is great to hear he is doing ok! Slowing down his metabolism a bit until you could get
some activated charcoal may have helped to slow down any side effects from ingestion. Once
you got the charcoal into him, increasing the temperatures back up should be helpful. I am glad
he didn't mind the greens slurry for a bit.

Let us know how he is doing.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
