Formerly my Border terrier was grass grazer, but lately she has turned to buttercup leaves. Of course, I stop her.

My dog eats the leaves and then throws up, I noticed that you all say they are poisonous. Is she just eating them to make herself throw up? Also, my backyard is filled with azaleas, wisteria, wild black cherry, and a huge yew tree. Should I worry about these plants around my dog...she never eats those but the lantana and she also eats camelia flowers...when she eats the lantana she vomits then she's ok. What should I do?" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/poisonous_plants.html&name=IVY_25398 /Pets/poisonous_plants.rss5 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT [QUESTION] Kathy Novak from writes: "I have a planter that has Ivy in it. I called the flower company that sent it and asked what kind of ivy it is. The reason being I have four cats in my house and I know that some ivys are poisonous. After searching on line I think I have it narrowed down to an ivy called Hedera a. Gloire de Marengo. I can't find any information on whether or not this is toxic to cats. I have it up high now so they can't get at it. But eventually I will need to put the plant where it can get sun.

My neighbor's 2 bichon puppies became very ill from chewing on one of the following plants: Feather Reed, Miscanthus, Blue Oat, Big Twister, Bee Balm, & Japanese Blood Grass. I've been trying to get info on these plants & have become frustrated trying to find a straight forward simple answer. And for any plant nurseries out there - you should have a list available to all of your customers & ask if they have pets BEFORE you recommend plants. Thanks for any information you can share with me." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/poisonous_plants.html&name=REMEDIESTOCUREPOISONING_11923 /Pets/poisonous_plants.rss10 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 00:00:00 EST [YEA] Wayne from palm springs, california writes: "Hydrogen peroxide.

Someone told me to cook bacon, take the grease, a raw egg, and a lemon lime soda, mix it together and force him to eat it, granted he threw up alot, it was bright neon green, but i kept feeding it to him until it was no longer green, then feed him pedialight for dehydration, he lived and is fine today, it seems to force any toxin that is in their system out." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/poisonous_plants.html&name=RF_11919 /Pets/poisonous_plants.rss12 Mon, 21 May 2007 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Sherri from Mohave Valley, Arizona writes: "Please add to your list of poisonous plants the following: Ferns, Asparagus Fern, Austalia Nut, Emerald Feather (aka Emerald Fern), Lace Fern, Plumosa Fern.

We rushed him to the emergency room and the doctor stated the petals were eating away his stomach lining. Luckily, they pumped his stomach and were able to treat him back to health. My cat spent 48 hours in the hospital w/ an iv and $1200 later was able to come home. I do not see roses listed on any site as poisonous. They are highly toxic. Please add roses to your list so more cat lovers will know.
