    Plants and Your Cat
    Plants add the needed finishing touches to any decor. But, if you have a feline, that beautiful plant could become a deadly enemy. Listed here are plants poisonous to cats that must be avoided if there are cats in your home. Note that lilies(*), in particular, are dangerous to cats. While in some cases, just parts of a plant (bark, leaves, seeds, berries, roots, tubers, spouts, green shells) might be poisonous, this list rules out the whole plant. If you must have any of them, keep them safely out of reach. Should your feline friend eat part of a poisonous plant, rush the cat to your veterinarian as soon as possible. If you can, take the plant with you for ease of identification.

    PLANTS TOXIC TO ANIMALS
    About this database: This database was created in order to assist the University of Illinois veterinary students in identifying common plants that are toxic to animals. This database brings together information available in library books, plants grown in the Poisonous Plant Garden , mounted specimens of plants, and the reference notes for a toxicology course (VB320) which is taught during the fall semester each year. Although the VB320 notes address toxic plants found in all regions of the U.S., only the species most commonly found in the midwestern states are covered in this database. Common house plants are also included as opportunities arise. All of the books employed were found in the University of Illinois Library system. In particular, the booklet, Illinois plants poisonous to livestock by L.R. Tehon, C. C. Morrill, and Robert Graham provided the basis for the database structure as well as additional text information for food animals. This database will be revised or updated as time and resources permit. Photographs, unless noted otherwise, are originals taken in the Poisonous Plant Garden for this project. The plant lists represent the entries which we hope to complete sometime in the future. Plant entries can be selected from either the

    Poisonous Plants
    It is difficult to create a list of poisonous plants. While some plants are outright toxic to anyone who eats or comes in contact with the plant (Jimson Weed, nightshade), others may cause a reaction in some but not in others. The following is a listing of plants normally thought to be poisonous. The list is not complete. People should not eat plants not grown as food crops. Children should be taught never to eat non-food crop plants.And you should restrict your pets' access to questionable plants. Poisonous plants vary between animals. Don't assume that since a bird, squirrel or pig ate a plant with no problems, others (human or rabbit) can do the same. Unless otherwise stated, consider all parts of the plant poisonous. Never hesitate to seek medical aid if you think a person or animal has ingested a poisonous substance. Agave (leaves)

    Table of Contents

    Natural History Green iguanas ( Iguana iguana ) are large semi-arboreal to arboreal lizards of the primarily New World Americas. They are almost an exclusively herbivorous reptile. Earlier beliefs were that the juveniles were insectivores, and then gradually grew into herbivorous adults. However recent studies on stomach content in wild iguanas have revealed that this is not the case. Iguanas are born herbivores and do not go through an ontogenetic shift from insectivore to herbivore. The digestive system is therefore designed to digest plant materials and not, as some recommend, to digest meat in any amount. The green iguana has evolved an elaborate hindgut, housing a microbial fermentation system that allows it to utilize fiber as effectively as mammalian ruminants. The adult iguanas spend most of their time in the upper parts of the trees, while the juveniles are either on the ground or in the lower parts of the trees and bushes. Due to the iguana's habitat, its wild diet consists of a variety of leaves, small fruits and flowers - and this variety should be provided in captivity as well. It may sound easy to provide a varied diet for the captive iguana, however the diet must also be a nutritiously balanced and healthy diet and this is why the iguana owner needs to learn some basic guidelines for making a proper Iguana-salad.

    to llamas or other livestock
    Note: This page has been updated with photos of all of the plants.
    Introduction
    Imagine taking a couple of your favourite llamas to visit a local hospital at Christmas. There are Rhododendron, Laurel, and Christmas Rose shrubs near the walkways. The building is covered in Ivy. Inside there are potted plants, Christmas Cherries and Poinsettias. The halls are decorated with Holly and Mistletoe. The llamas are impressed, it looks like a salad bar, but all the plants mentioned above are poisonous.
    This list of plants covers some of the poisonous plants found in British Columbia and the surrounding areas. It is not intended as a definitive text on poisonous plants, but hopefully it will make llama owners aware of some of the things to watch out for. As an example, while gathering information for this, we discovered Deadly Nightshade in two areas on our farm, one patch growing through the fence into the llama pasture.
    All of the plants listed may not be poisonous to llamas, but there are reports of them all being toxic in varying degrees. Some only need the consumption of a couple of leaves or berries to be fatal where others may only cause a bit of stomach upset. Most of the books that the information has been gleaned from refer to the poisonous effects on humans, rather than the effects on livestock.

    Every year, poisonous plants cause death, temporary and chronic pain and illness, abortions, decreased productivity and birth defects involving hundreds of thousands of livestock. Economic losses amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. Experts agree that many occasions of plant poisoning are preventable. Good use of good information about toxic plants coupled with ensuring access to safe feed provide the best insurance against plant poisoning. Field Guide to Plants Poisonous to Livestock - Western U.S. compiles in over 240 pages key information from various resources to help livestock owners identify over 100 western toxic plants, consider animal, pasture and range management strategies, spot symptoms of potential poisoning and respond effectively when poisoning occurs.

    Plants Poisonous to Livestock
    Fred Fishel
    Department of Agronomy, University of Missouri-Columbia Several species of plants poisonous to livestock are distributed throughout Missouri, and many of them are commonly found in native or improved pastures. This guide describes some of the more common species that are toxic to various livestock. For more information, see your local University Outreach and Extension Center, or check one of the toxic plant databases on the World Wide Web, such as Indiana Plants Poisonous to Livestock and Pets, Cooperative Extension Service, Purdue University, http://vet.purdue.edu/depts/addl/toxic/cover1.htm A common characteristic of several poisonous plants is a disagreeable taste that ordinarily discourages livestock from grazing them. Some species are poisonous only during certain stages of growth. For example, common cocklebur is most poisonous shortly before reaching the two-leaf stage. During this period of growth, cocklebur is exceedingly toxic to pigs but can also harm cattle and sheep. If livestock poisoning is suspected, carefully examine the grazing area for poisonous plants. Jimsonweed, snow-on-the-mountain, croton and wild indigo are commonly found in open areas of the pasture. Species commonly found in shady areas include white snakeroot, bracken fern, pokeweed and buckeye. Moist areas along creeks or ditch banks are favorable for growth of water and poison hemlock, black nightshade and horsetail. Poisonous plants found in cultivated fields include cocklebur, jimsonweed, milkweed, pigweed and johnsongrass. Wild cherry, milkweed and pokeweed are found along fence and hedge rows.

    Poisonous Plant Research Laboratory Agriculture Information - Bulletin 415
    Plants Poisonous to Livestock in the Western States Poisonous plants are a major cause of economic loss to the livestock industry. Each year these plants adversely affect 3 to 5 percent of the cattle, sheep, and horses that graze western ranges. Livestock losses can be heavy if : Animals graze infested ranges when plants are most toxic. Animals are driven or trailed through or unloaded from trucks onto range or pasture areas infested with poisonous plants. Animals are not watered regularly or are allowed to become hungry. Such animals are more likely to eat lethal quantities of poisonous plants. Animals are allowed to graze in heavy stands of plants that are highly poisonous, such as locoweed or larkspur. Animals are grazed on rangelands early in the spring when there is no other green vegetation except poisonous plants. There are no known treatments for animals poisoned by most poisonous plants. Where a treatment is available, affected animals are usually in remote places and cannot be reached until it is too late to apply the treatment. When they have recovered enough to be handled, treatment should consist primarily of symptomatic treatment except where a specific treatment is known. Prevention of loss from poisonous plants in general is a problem of range and livestock management. Proper diagnosis of livestock poisoning is essential in the identification of specific plant poisoning; however, under range conditions, livestock may eat large quantities of poisonous plants in a short time. Under these conditions, animals may not exhibit typical signs or lesions characteristic of the poisoning.
