The most common cause of household accidents is burns while cooking, so many slaves plant aloe vera plants in case of emergencies. Fresh aloe vera is very useful. The transparent gel inside can be used for moisturizing, sterilizing, sun protection, scar removal, insect repellent, etc. However, if you have a dog at home, you must be especially careful!
Toxic parts of aloe vera
The useful part of aloe vera is the transparent gel in the middle, while the aloe vera skin is exactly the opposite. The yellow part of the aloe vera skin and subcutaneous parts and the yellow liquid exuded from it contain emodin, which is toxic and harmful to humans and dogs!
Regardless of whether the owner or the dog eats the poisonous parts, it can cause diarrhea in mild cases, miscarriage in severe cases, and may lead to colorectal cancer. In addition, it also contains high amounts of oxalic acid, which may cause kidney stones. If overdosed, it may cause heart rhythm problems. Imperfections can lead to heart failure, acute renal failure, and even death.
Therefore, when owners use fresh aloe vera, they should remember to only use the transparent gel part in the middle and place the aloe vera out of reach of dogs.
If your dog unfortunately eats aloe vera and develops vomiting, diarrhea, food loss, or tremors, you should see a doctor immediately!
Is aloe vera ointment poisonous?
Of course there is no problem with ointments. Aloe vera ointments and toxic ingredients should have been removed during processing, so they should be safe.
