* General weakness (especially hind limbs)
* Vomiting
* Increased body temperature
* Pale mucous membranes
* Hind limb muscle tremors, weakness, weakened or lost weight-bearing ability, usually unwilling to stand, difficult to stand, unwilling to stand for a long time, etc.
There is data showing that:
Clinical symptoms will occur if a dog eats 2.2g of macadamia nuts per kilogram. In Australia, 0.7-4.9g/kg (about 5-40 pieces for a 20kg dog) will cause poisoning. Due to individual differences, the lowest toxic dose can cause poisoning if even one pill per kilogram of body weight is ingested.

What should you do if your dog eats macadamia nuts?

If you have just ingested macadamia nuts and are discovered in time, you should induce vomiting immediately; if you have ingested macadamia nuts and the effective time for inducing vomiting has passed, you should take your dog to the hospital immediately. Conduct a detailed examination, monitor various physiological indicators, and determine whether other auxiliary treatment measures are needed based on the examination results.
