Accidental ingestion. What to do?

[Staygold]

Just to let everybody know I am not planning on feeding her any of these items but I would like to know what I should keep on hand or what I need to do if she happens to eat any of them. I do my best to keep my eye on her and make sure she doesn't eat anything off the floor when she is roaming around, but accidents do happen, and I would prefer to be prepared. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

1. Tobacco from a cigarette. Sometimes I roll cigarettes and some tobacco can end up on the floor.
2 Marijuana dried bud. Same as cigarettes, some falls on the floor when I roll it.
3. Fresh marijuana leaves off the plant. I live in Canada and we are allowed to grow plants in our backyard, so there will be a few in the yard during the summer
4. Buttercup. When it gets warm enough I plan on letting her outside but we have buttercup throughout the lawn in our backyard.

Hi there, close supervision and you being alert and sweeping up should keep these possibilities very low. A very small ingestion of any of those should not be harmful. I have buttercups in my yard + my dragons have nibbled on them with no ill effects at all. They prefer dandelion and eat that in pretty big amounts at times.

I agree. It's like they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

That said, the general method of dealing with accidental ingestions of potentially harmful substances is immediate administration of activated charcoal. AC also can have some side effects, so if the item ingested is unlikely to cause much issue, AC can be avoided.

i do keep a close eye on her, but want to be prepared just in case.

i always watch her closely, but just in case, I would like to have the knowledge and supplies to help her in case she eats something she isn't supposed to. Thank you, I will order some activated charcoal in case of emergency.
