Poison Plants
Serious poisoning by plants is fortunately uncommon.
A likely “victim” will be a young puppy, investigating its new home, and nibbling at more than's good for it.
Symptoms are usually a bad case of vomiting or diarrhea.
After that's over, all is forgotten and then it's back to the look that says “where’s my supper?”.
Things can however, get dangerous - if left untreated.
Toxins in various plants can induce twitching, unsteadiness, convulsions ....or even worse.
Any of these signs and /or lethargy, and / or loss of appetite .. "GET TO A VET".
