Yew Is Poisonous To Pets
Plant Name:
Yew
Scientific Name:
Taxus sp.
Family:
Taxaceae
Toxins:
Taxine
Poisoning Symptoms:
Acute cardiac failure resulting in sudden death, Early Symptoms can include trembling, muscular tremors, seizures, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Additional Information:
The English and Chinese Yew are among the most toxic plants present in North America. The amount of material that needs to be ingested to obtain a dose capable of lethality is quite small; in dogs as little as 2 or 3 grams of material is enough to cause a fatality. So it is conceivable that a dog could ingest a potentially lethal dose while playing with a branch or stick from a Yew plant. Taxine absorbtion in animals with a single chambered stomach such as dogs is extremely rapid with recorded cases of animals collapsing and dying within 15 minutes of ingesting material from plants of the Taxus species. Taxine the poisonous substance found within the Yew plant is cardio toxic (creating a negative or toxic effect on the heart), and is present in the plant throughout the year with the highest concentration of Taxine appearing in the winter months.
First Aid:
Induce vomiting within 30 minutes of ingestion and administer activated charcoal slurry. Warning by inducing vomiting there is the risk of triggering cardiac or central nervous system complications. Seek Emergency Medical Veterinary Attention.

Liliaceae

Unknown

Vomiting, lack of appetite, lethargy, depression, lack of urination caused by kidney failure, death.
Additional Information:

It is extremely important that you seek Veterinary Attention Immediately to ensure the proper treatment and potentially preserve the animal’s life.
First Aid:
Immediate action for lily ingestion consists of using hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting thus emptying the stomach and preventing further absorption of the toxin. The pet then needs to be taken immediately to the nearest veterinary facility where they can begin a 24 hour fluid therapy for diuresis to ensure the kidneys continue to function properly and administer necessary medications.

Castor Beans are Poisonous To Pets
Plant Name:
Castor Bean

Ricinus communis

Euphorbiaceae

Ricin

Increase in body temperature accompanied by depression, this will progress to vomiting, profuse diarrhea with or without blood, extreme abdominal pain followed by convulsions, collapse and death occurring within 36 hours of consumption.
Additional Information:
Caster Beans are derived from the Castor oil plant or Ricinus Communis, in actuality it is the seeds that are extremely toxic not the beans (which are not by definition true beans anyway). The seeds contain trigglycerides and high concentrations of the primary toxin Ricin, which can also be found in lower concentrations throughout the plant.
First Aid:
Prevent further ingestion of the plant and contact a veterinarian immediately to provide emergency medical procedures. If the consumption is more than a few hours old the only probably option is supportive care and treatment for shock although it is still likely that death may result.
