    If you suspect that your dog might have eaten any plant that might be toxic, contact his/her Vet immediately. Many common house and garden plants can be toxic to animals if swallowed. The symptoms can be diarrhea, nausea, skin allergies, oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of the mouth, lips, tongue, excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty in swallowing and abdominal pain. Only a trained Vet can help you if you suspect that your dog has been poisoned, do not waste valuable time your pet has by relying on random web sites or helpful info found online.
