The mayapple is a woodland plant that often grows in thick patches or colonies. They have two large lobed leaves per plant, a single white flower where the leaf stalks split, and a small fruit in summer.Although the ripe yellowish fruit is edible to humans , the unripe fruit, seed, roots and foliage are poisonous. Mayapple contains a unique toxin called podophyllin.If consumed, mayapple can cause vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, excessive panting, coma or death in dogs.
Next, observe your dog to ensure that they are still breathing and acting normally. If possible, take a sample of the plant they were chewing or eating. Keep your sample out of your pet’s reach, to keep them from ingesting more. If possible, take several pictures of the plant. Pictures should include close ups of the leaves and photos that show the whole plant. If there are flowers, fruits, pods, seeds or any other reproductive parts, snap some pictures of these too.
It’s vital that you NEVER give a potentially poisoned dog any home remedies. Some folk remedies for poisoning will only interfere with your vet’s treatment. Keep them comfortable, show lots of affection and get them to the nearest ER veterinary facility immediately.
