The black laurel, also known as the cherry laurel, is a shrub or small tree that is native to Europe and Asia. It is often used as an ornamental plant in gardens and parks. All parts of the black laurel plant are poisonous, but the berries are especially toxic.
If a dog eats black laurel berries, it may experience the following symptoms:
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- abdominal pain
- difficulty breathing
- seizures
- coma
- death
The severity of the symptoms will depend on the amount of berries that the dog has eaten.
If you think that your dog has eaten black laurel berries, it is important to take them to the vet immediately. There is no specific antidote for black laurel poisoning, but the vet will be able to provide supportive care and help to manage the symptoms.
