Default Marigolds - CALL YOUR VET!!!

I just found this by typing "Can dogs eat marigolds?" into Google Hope this helps.
Some plants hide deadly poisons in their leaves, seeds, flowers or berries. These poisons can affect the gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system or nervous system and may cause death. It is important to know what plants are in your home and yard and what symptoms poisonous plants can cause. Plants containing saps or resins can irritate a pet's mouth, pharynx or esophagus, causing excessive salivation, swelling, vomiting, abnormal heart rhythms, labored breathing, collapse, skin rashes or itching. Some plants can cause blood abnormalities, such as anemia, jaundice, urinary tract disorders or kidney failure. Signs to look for are pale gums, yellow eye whites or bloody urine. Other signs of poisoning include depression, aberrant behavior or shaking. If your pet shows any of these symptoms, take note of the plants it may have had access to and call poison control or your vet immediately. It would be impossible to list all the plants that may be dangerous to pets, but the following list gives some common plants that are considered poisonous. There is also a list of safe plants.
