title: Plant hazards.
abstract: A variety of plants, seeds, and nuts can cause toxicosis in small animals. Some plants are not as toxic as commonly believed by the general public. Conversely, plants or nuts that are consumed by human beings can be toxic to their pets. Most plant toxins do not have specific treatments or antidotes. As a result, treatment is often limited to decontamination plus symptomatic and supportive care.
