14. Tulip and Narcissus Bulbs
This flowering plant is poisonous to both cats and dogs, with mild to moderate toxic reactions.
The bulb of Tulipa/Narcissus spp. contain allergenic lactones or similar alkaloid toxins that can cause severe irritation of the mouth and throat, excess drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, increased or abnormal heart rate, increased breathing, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, and convulsions.
The poison is concentrated in the bulb of the plant, not so much in the stem and petals, and is usually ingested when a dog digs up planted bulbs from the ground, or has gotten into a bag of bag of bulbs.
The more a dog ingests, the more severe the reaction.
