Symptoms will vary from animal to animal. Some may eat these plants and will exhibit local irritants such as drooling,
vomiting, diarrhea, irritation to the mouth and skin, or swelling around the area of the mouth. Extreme cases of
poisoning may cause convulsions, tremors to the heart, respiratory and kidney problems, and in the most extreme
causes, coma or even death. It is a good idea to note that most dogs and cats will vomit after chewing on plants; this
probably does not mean poisoning. Only severe or persistent vomiting is a danger sign, especially when accompanied
with one or more of the other symptoms.
Be sure to know the names of the plants in and around your home and keep potentially toxic plants of the areas
accessible to your pet. If your pet should happen to be poisoned by a hazardous plant or any other substance, contact
your veterinarian immediately. Do not try to induce vomiting without consulting a veterinarian first. Always be sure
to keep the phone number of your vet and the Animal Poison Control Center near your phone.
