“Most animals are not just going to go chew on the leaves, because they’re prickly. “We say that mainly because the seeds are usually what the animals get into,” Mizesko said. What is known is that ALL parts of a sago palm are toxic, and the most toxic part is the seeds.

Matt Mizesko, one of the vets at First Coast Veterinary ER who also treated Joey, explained that the full toxicity of sago palm is not completely understood. Justin Fyfe shares what dog owners should know if they believe their dog might have gotten into some sago palm seeds or plants. That was on the symptom list for sago palm poisoning - along with vomiting. We realized she was also drooling way more than normal. Sure enough, that was exactly what she’d had in her mouth. I whipped out my phone and pulled up the pic while my husband did a quick Google search. I was so thankful I had snapped that photo. I swear an angel must have whispered it to me because out of nowhere, it suddenly rushed back to my memory that we had a sago palm in our backyard. And not to be gross, but I saw all these seeds and wood-looking pieces in it. I never saw what she did with it after that.īut the next morning, I got a pretty good idea. I made sure she took the “tree” back outside. I grabbed my cellphone and snapped a picture that I posted on Instagram later, along with some of her other puppy antics. Joey's normal antics with large sticks and leaves made the little "tree" she brought into the porch seem perfectly normal.
