https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/non-clinical-questions/19618/is-this-plant-poisonousThis year I&#39;ve noticed a strange new plant in my garden. Not being green fingered I&#39;ve only just got around to finding out what it is... Arum Italicum (chunky green stalk thing with green berries that turn red). Anyone know whether this is toxic to dogsen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/117919?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Jul 2014 16:34:47 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:8ab93690-eff6-4a89-90c8-08ea9236450dBob Russell<p>http://www.nps.gov/cue/epmt/products/Arum%20italicum%202012%20NCREPMT.pdf</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/117913?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Jul 2014 16:03:57 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:6a266cf9-acbb-470e-996b-299f9a8cebf2Kathryn Burton<p>Oh no, I&#39;ve already got bindweed ++++.</p> <p>Lucky I have so much free time for gardening (ahem)!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/117912?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Jul 2014 15:56:30 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:5d963ff2-8853-427a-99be-ddbdb4bb60b2Bob Russell<p>My wife is a serious gardener - apparently very invasive and difficult to eradicate!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/117667?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 18 Jul 2014 09:24:27 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:da74ecd9-94f2-465b-96b2-09bf1f5fc2e8Alex Allen<p>Mostly like wild arum - you see if commonly in shady areas of woodland. &nbsp;AKA &quot;Cuckoopint&quot; or &quot;Lords &amp; Ladies&quot;</p> <p>Berries are poisonous but very bitter so ingestion less likely BUT.... very irritant to skin and mouth so local reactions common in people and animals that come into contact. May cause mouth / throat swelling if eating is attempted.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/117666?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 18 Jul 2014 08:32:47 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:f0b2a283-7aa1-45c9-9e4e-0b7e4f8f5cd0Hannah Wynne Richards<p>&nbsp;Arum suggests lily family, so I&#39;d assume yes.</p> <p>Wynne</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/117663?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 17 Jul 2014 21:55:49 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:4659b45a-055d-42c1-9564-fbc9face2e09Sammy82<p>http://www.thepoisongarden.co.uk/atoz/arum_italicum.htm</p> <p>Don&#39;t think it will be dangerously poisonous as dogs are unlikely to each much of it, but they will get skin/mouth irritation and vomitting/diarrhoe if they try it. Might be worth getting rid off it if you have a dog that likes to chew plants.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
