Elly,and her oleander eating dog. What happened?

If Elly's dog ingested oleander than it is a safe bet the dog is dead. Oleander is extremely toxic. I am sorry to hear about this puppy.

I dont know
Reply:If the dog ate oleander, it's going to die (if it's not dead already). The oleander contains the toxic glycoside oleandrin; one leaf can kill a full-grown human.

One of two things or both, over watering causing a depletion of iron in the soil. Oleanders like to dry out in between watering. There is a product called chelated iron. Allow your soil to dry, follow the directions on the package and cut back on the watering. letting the soil dry between. Once you have replaced the iron go back to your feeding routine which should be very two to three weeks. Good luck!


God Bless,

Chances are you'll be OK, but if you feel any of the following symptoms, you'd better seek medical assistance:





Effects of poisoning





Oleandrin, one of the toxins present in OleanderReactions to this plant are as follows. Ingestion can cause both gastrointestinal and cardiac effects. The gastrointestinal effects can consist of nausea and vomiting, excess salivation, abdominal pain, diarrhea that may or may not contain blood, and especially in horses, colic (Inchem 2005). Cardiac reactions consist of irregular heart rate, sometimes characterized by a racing heart at first that then slows to below normal further along in the reaction
Reply:i don't think it would be lethal or would it be?

What is Nerium oleander?
This fast growing evergreen shrub can reach up to 20 ft (6.1 m) tall but is usually seen trimmed at 6-10 ft (1.8-3.1 m). It forms a rounded mound to about 10 ft (3.1 m) wide. It is a tough, versatile plant with showy summertime flowers in white, red, pink, salmon and light yellow. Leathery, lance shaped leaves range from about 4-10 in (10.2-25.4 cm) long, depending on variety and are a bright green. Oleanders have a tendency to become leggy - overgrown individuals should be pruned as needed to maintain a nice shape. A popular variety is 'Petit Salmon' which is a dwarf that grows to only 4 ft (1.2 m).

I ate much oleander sap. Am I ok?

It was 3 days ago and I'm still fine. And it was from stem. Isn't it poisonous? Does it have an incubation period?

I doubt it was actually oleander... and why are you eating the stuff anyway? the toxins in oleander would have done the significant damage by now.





Poisoning and reactions to Oleander plants are evident quickly, requiring immediate medical care in suspected or known poisonings of both humans and animals (Goetz 1998)

My newly planted oleander doesn't look vibrant and green looks like it is dying. Can i fertilize it and with w

I don't know where you are(US?) but it's kind of cold out in most places. That would be your biggest problem. If it's warm where you are , just water it a little and be patient. It will come to life. Those things are almost impossible to kill.

you have to test the ph of your soil. if you cant, find a local university to test the soil. it should be acidic
Reply:oleanders are toxic and poisonous.


plant something else
Reply:if your plant is struggling, don't fertilize it... it can't deal with that right now..... many oleanders cannot take a frost without it making the leaves look a lttle droopy and ragged... if there's not a heavy leaf drop, your plant should be okay once the weather warms.... keep it moist within reason... it does like to dry out a little, occasionally....
