If you're the owner of either and they go south on you for some reason, you're going to be the 1st Responder. Do not call the closest fire station; call your animal's vet.
Tis the season and all that, but it's also the time of the year that dogs/cats are tempted to chew up the creche and all that lies within it but also the plants particular to Christmas. The following are poisonous:
mistletoe
ivy
holly
hyacinth
daffodil
chrysanthemums
mountain laurel
1st - get them away from the source 2nd cautiously swab their mouth out with a finger; 3rd. save any vomitus in a plastic bag or a small sample of whatever was eaten leaf, flower, and take it with you to the vet. It can help in a diagnosis by your vet and instant proper treatment.
Another emergency help source is the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Poison Control Center Website is www.aspca.org/poison Phone: 888-426-4435
Heloise said a consultation fee may be assessed.
