An immediate check up is required as tulip bulbs can result in severe toxicity. There is no antidote to this type of intoxication, so treatment beyond that is essentially supportive, including hospitalisation. I would avoid any lactation until signs are not resolved. Milk replacement can be given. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
