Labrador Retriever's question about Lobelia Poisoning

Question

We have Lobelia Erinus (trailing/bedding lobelia) in our garden. Luna constantly digs it up and I caught her twice yesterday trying to eat it. She was sick early hours of this morning and pooped several times on her 1am toilet break. Is this lobelia toxic? As most sites say it isn't but I was wondering if it had mild toxicity which could have caused her sickness. She has no other unusual symptoms.

Accepted Answer

As far as I am aware the plant is toxic and normally results in gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, diarrhoea and drooling; if Luna keeps digging them up, you should remove them from your garden to prevent any future issues. Keep an eye on her, but if there is no improvement over the next day you should pop into your Veterinarian to be on the safe side. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
