went out for a looonnnggg walk today with dogs and kids , kids picked some daffodils ( just the ones that were broken off as i never let them pick flowers )

they brought 3 home and elliot has eaten them but he has been really really sick :x

can anyone tell me if its his own stupid fault and now he has a tummy ache or am i off to the vets :- "

thank you

The bulbs are very toxic to dogs ...... but I'm not sure about the flowers, but if he has been sick I'd say keep an eye on him ...... :luck:

Ive been told they are poisonous, he may need the vet Sharon.

heres an article I got from the internet

I looked this up at length when we got Monty, I'm afraid that my research in to daffodils listed them as potentially lethal As a result we cut down all the daffs in the garden this season. Still, so long as he's been sick and he's getting medical attention he's sure to be fine! :luck:

Hope poor Elliot recovers quickly. :luck: :luck:

im hoping because they wernt in his system long he will be fine :luck:

he seems a little perkier now its all out of him :sweating: and has just had a couple of biscuits :luck:

ok just got off phone from vet , the bulbs are highly toxic but the toxins that are in the buld are in the head and stem in a reduced concentration :blink:

so its highly unlikely that he will be too poorly from it :sweating:

i do not know if bliss ate some too but the vet said it could take up to 24 hours for her to be sick too :x

he said they may be drowsy tonight and i cant feed them , he isnt overly concerned as elliot hasnt been sick for an hour now but he is on call all night and if he is sick again ive to take him in , this is gonna be a long night :blink:

they had a 4 month old cocker spaniel who ate 24 heads , was sick loads then fine :blink: so fingers crossed :luck: :luck:
