grayanotoxins

Azalea/Rhododendron: c/s

vomiting, drooling, diarrhea, weakness, and central nervous system depression.

oma and death due to cardiovascular collapse.

oleander: ingredients

cardiac glycosides

oleander: c/s

gastrointestinal irritation, abnormal heart function, hypothermia, and death

castor bean: toxic principle

ricin

castor bean: c/s

severe abdominal pain, drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst, weakness, and loss of appetite.

Severe poisoning can lead to dehydration, muscle twitching, tremors, seizures, coma, and death.

cyclamine, primarily in the root.

cyclamen: c/s

significant gastrointestinal irritation and intense vomiting.

Kalanchoe: toxic principle

bufadienolide

Kalanchoe: c/s

gastrointestinal irritation and can severely affect cardiac rhythm and rate.

yew: toxic principle + MOA

disrupt normal nerve function and have a potent effect on the heart and nervous system.

yew: c/s

seizures and tremors

vomiting is often one of the first signs as the dog's body attempts to expel the toxic material.

Respiratory distress can occur as the toxins affect the heart and lungs, leading to difficulty breathing.

The heart rate may slow significantly (bradycardia), and abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmias) can develop, which are life-threatening and may lead to sudden death

Dogs may also exhibit weakness, lethargy, or collapse due to the cardiovascular effects of the toxin.

Yew poisoning can be rapidly fatal, sometimes causing death with little to no warning, especially if a large amount is ingested

Digitalis purpurea

6-12 hours after ingestion and include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and dehydration, followed by a deceptive period of apparent recovery. This is typically followed by severe liver and kidney failure, which can be fatal without aggressive treatment.
