greenappleagnes said: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.

Wow Casey. Great that it worked, but how did you get Hydrogen peroxide into the dogs? Not nice stuff to ingest. What strength was it?

My daughter is a vet and a cat presented with foam in mouth and was listless. She asked about the owner's indoor plants. Cat had chewed some Spathiphyllum Madonna/Peace Lily. Many plants are toxic to dogs and cats. Keep away from them avocadoes, macadamias and raisins.

But the heat bead fire starters used in barbeques should be more widely know for the danger they pose to dogs who may be attracted by meaty smells on them. The toxins can kill long after the offenders are surgically removed.
