Fortunately, serious poisoning by plants is uncommon. The most likely “victim” is going to be a young puppy - investigating its new home - and biting off rather more
than is good for it. Symptoms are usually a bad case of vomiting or diarrhoea - after which, all is forgotten and “where’s my supper?”.
Things can get dangerous - if left untreated. Toxins in various plants can induce twitching, unsteadiness, convulsions ....and even worse. Any of these signs and /or lethargy, and / or loss of appetite .. “Get to a Vet”.
