Toxicity to pets
Toxicity varies with color of flowers, season of year, quantity of plant material ingested, and frequency of ingestion.
Enough unripe berries could cause more severe signs than ripe berries. For the most part, our companion animals don’t eat enough to cause more than vomiting and diarrhea.
Common signs to watch for:
- depression
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- weakness
- possible liver failure (which is mostly a risk for farm animals)
