Spring brings the growth of all kinds of plants that you didn't even know were planted in your yard. Wild things can be poison to your pets, as well as the everyday houseplant and shrubs you tote home from the nursery.
I don't want to list the hundreds of plants and symptoms here in the blog. Instead, I want you to keep this website handy:

And when I mean handy, I mean write it down and stick it on your refrigerator or tape it to the inside of your medicine cabinet, or in your pets' medical record books, and so on. It can save a life. Pets often eat things we don't think of as food, like cigarette butts, rocks, flowers, bees, sponges, batteries, jewelry, wood, prescription pills, marijuana, cocaine, and a host of other things you'd probably not imagine had you not seen it (as those of us in the veterinary profession have on an x-ray or in the bloodstream).
So don't spend any more time looking at this post. Go to the Pet Poison Helpline website and take a look at what you never imagined could happen to your beloved beasties. Pre ready in advance. Eating junk isn't just for goats anymore.
