Symptoms of Plant Poisoning

Symptoms can vary as they are specific to each type of plant eaten

It is important to remember that any animal or human can have an adverse reaction to anything. And anything consumed in large quantities can become poisonous. But if you suspect your pet or child has consumed a toxic plant, here are some common symptoms.

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Drooling
  • Seizures
  • Difficulty breathing

We would also like to remind you to be careful what you are spraying in your yard to control weeds, pests or any other chemicals. Be cautious of neighbors doing the same thing, especially on windy days.

Disclaimer: If you are uncertain about a plant being poisonous or toxic, it is best to speak with a licensed veterinarian beforehand. Plant Addicts is not liable for any adverse effects from plants on animals or children. Anything consumed in large quantities can lead to adverse side effects. And sometimes allergic reactions can also happen to safe plants (although rare).

If you suspect your animal or child is suffering from poisoning, call 911 immediately for children and adults and the Pet Poison Hotline for animals for 24/7 vet advice. Their phone number is (855) 764-7661.
