.Toxic Plants.

The pretty Daffodil is not that pretty for our pets!

These spring sprouting delights are toxic to both dogs and cats with the bulbs being the most toxic part of the plant.
They contain lycorine which is an alkaloid with strong emetic properties, something that triggers vomiting. There are crystals around the outer layer of the bulb which cause serious tissue irritations. If any part of the flower is digested, including the bulb, this can cause diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and in severe cases even respiratory depression or cardiac arrhythmias.

If you Daffodil’s popping up in your garden at any time or you have any inside your house in a vase make sure they are kept well out of reach of your pets and make sure all water from the vase is deposed of also.

Contact your vet immediately if you have any concerns in regards to your pet’s health.
