Donating YT 500 Club Member | I would contact a vet and see if they suggest inducing vomiting. It may be they will tell you to observe him for any signs of poisoning. Tomatoes, potatoes and rhubarb contain oxalates, which trigger abnormalities with the nervous system, kidneys and digestive tract. Especially toxic are green tomatoes, green potatoes, potato skins, and tomato leaves and plants, can trigger tremors, seizure and heart arrhythimia, so tomatoes should never be given to dogs.

| I don't think it would hurt him. I don't know if the tomato skin or seeds would cause stomach upset. Just watch to see if there are any changes in pooping. Good luck! |
