Tips:
(1) In the spring, everything grows, dogs like to go to the grass to eat sprouted grass leaves, beware of dogs eating poisonous plants
(2) After accidental ingestion of toxic plant poisoning, there will generally be obvious gastrointestinal reactions (vomiting, diarrhea) or neurological reactions (drooling, convulsions) or obvious contact toxicity (such as skin, mucous membrane redness, papules, etc.), which should be promptly used soapy water to induce vomiting, and sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
(3) Domestic plants should find ways to isolate themselves from cats and dogs, and do not let them have intimate contact.
