Amaryllis spp.
Also called: Amaryllis spp. · Hippeastrum · amaryllis bulb
Dog
Dangerous
Described signs
Heavy drooling and abdominal discomfort from the oxalate crystals, which are more concentrated in the bulb; and, depending on the amount, vomiting, a drop in blood pressure, tremors or seizures and depressed breathing. The bulb is what a dog digs up.
Cat
Dangerous
Described signs
Heavy drooling and abdominal discomfort from the oxalate crystals, which are more concentrated in the bulb; and, depending on the amount, vomiting, a drop in blood pressure, tremors or seizures and depressed breathing. If what is in the house is a true lily rather than an amaryllis, the danger to a cat is a different and even greater one: the lily has its own entry here.
