Thanks DT, it's great to have a list of all the things that are poisonous especially plants as I will be planting up my garden in the spring. I will defintiely avoid those plants that can cause harm or worse.

A few years ago we had dug up some Helleborus (Christmas Roses) and put them in the boot of the car to take to the tip. The next morning we had put the dog in the boot (hatchback) to take her for her run and later we noticed she was covered in a horrendous rash which was extremely red and burned looking. It turned out to be the sap from the Christmas Roses which must have remained wet on the boot protector. She was treated by the vet and everything healed up fine.

I knew about the chocolate as my youngest dog ate an extra large bar of Cadbury's Caramel. I immediately phoned the vet and was advised to give her a handful of Soda Crystals to swallow to make her vomit. Ended up phoning the vet again as she hadn't immediately vomitted and was told to give her another handful and take her immediately to see him where she was given something to make her sick and kept in for a few hours. Thankfully she was okay but I would never give any dog chocolate after that experience.

Another thing she ate was daffodil bulbs which I had read were poisonous and could be fatal to dogs so on that occasion I contacted the vet for advice. He contacted the poisons unit and adviced me with most dogs it would need to be quite a lot that they ate but I suppose every dog could be different. Luckily she had no problems other than vomitting up the bulbs.

Another thing my dogs will sniff at and one will eat is Bonemeal, again I think that is harmful so it has to be kept well out of his reach.

It is so sad to hear of pets being poisoned.
