Yeah, so many plants we grow can cause problems, one part might be ok, and another part poisonous. It seemed like the first 1 1/2 years Joey wanted to put everything in his mouth, but the good news is that animals learn very quickly what they can and can't eat, and don't generally consume a large amount when they first try something, and if they don't get sick, they will go back and try it again. Taste aversion leaning is unique in that it's one of the only things that can be taught in one trial.
Sometimes when we read threads about someone's dog vomiting, I often wonder if its because of something like this, but they just didn't see what the dog ate.
