| PLEASEEE HELP... mandevilla plant Carson has thrown up maybe 7 times in the past hour and has had bad diarrhea since about 3. I'm staying at my mom's and she has a mandevilla plant and I caught him with his head in it and had to yell at him... he just threw up what looked to be dirt from the plant. I didn't see any leaves or any parts of the plant and never saw him with any in his mouth. My mom is a flight nurse and INSISTS he's okay. He's not really acting lethargic and was playing earlier. My vet and all the local vets are closed. Closest emergency vet is 40 mins away should I take him?

| I did some checking since I have no experience with this plant. This is what I found on dogster about mandevilla plants. This is a full compiled list of plants I've found information that they are known to be toxic. While in some cases, just parts of a plant (bark, leaves, seeds, berries, roots, tubers, spouts, green shells) might be poisonous, this list rules out the whole plant. If you must have any of them, keep them safely out of reach. If a small amount is consumed keep an eye for any changes that become abnormal. Immediately consult a professional at even the slightest change in your pets behavior or health. Time is of great importance in guaranteeing your pets health in poison cases. Should your pet eat a substantial part of a poisonous plant, rush to your veterinarian as soon as possible. If you can, take the plant with you for identification Personally, if it were me I would take my dog to be checked. Your mom is a flight nurse, not a vet. Good luck to you and please let us know!

| I thought I had seen that this plant was toxic to dogs but on ASPCA's website it doesn't show up under plants toxic to dogs. Anyone know?!

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | Is he keeping any of the water or food down? If it were me I would call the emergency vet and ask about that plant and if this is a normal reaction. I would be concerned about dehydration.

| plants and poisoning I had a Maddevilla plant and got rid of it when I got Belle, wasn't going to take a chance. Here is the number for the ANIMAL POISON HOTLINE 888-232-8870 you can call them from anywhere. They are great about what to do until you get to the vet. Hope this helps |
