Scott - Yikes! I'm guessing you knew (s)he ate them? So scary.

So...

Last summer I had a few iris orders come in around the same. Laid them out on the kitchen floor to organize and photograph.

Then I went back outside to work in the garden.

I came in about an hour later and discovered I left the gate between the kitchen and dining room open. Our sweet little puppy tore her way through the rhizomes. I knew the rhizomes were toxic (researched it before we got her) and called our vet immediately. Since I had just taken pics, I was able to identify how many were "missing" and was told to give her hydrogen peroxide until she expelled them, and keep an eye on her. That did the trick, she had just eaten lunch and only consumed two smaller rhizomes. We consider ourselves lucky.
