VETERINARIANS are warning pet owners about an unlikely danger lurking in some backyards - the popular brunfelsia flower, also known as Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow.
Animal Referral Hospital's internal medicine specialist, Dr Fiona Park, has reported an increased number of brunfelsia poisoning cases in recent months, and one which resulted in the death of a dog this month.
"Dogs seem to be attracted to the berries and seed pods but all parts of the plant can be considered toxic," Dr Park said.
"Signs of poisoning include salivation, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle tremors and seizures, and can last up to several days with or without treatment."
