Are tulips poisons to dogs

After a day of working in the garden, our dog started to act strangely. She would not bend her legs, and when she walked in the yard, she stumbled and listed to the right - something we had never seen our 4 year old pup do. She looked drunk. A quick call to the vet (it was a holiday, but she happened to be in the office on another emergency) and off we raced to her office. On the way, our dog had a seizure. It was frightening.

The vet checked her, did blood tests, talked to us about epilepsy and brain tumors as possibilities - although it seemed that poisoning was the most likely diagnosis. We just could not figure out what she might have eaten. My husband mentioned the tulip bulbs we had dug up earlier that day - some of them may have fallen into the grass, and the dog may have eaten some. Apparently, tulips are very toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. They contain a toxin called tulipalin - and while all parts of the plant have it, the bulb holds the most concentrated tulipalin. Check out the ASPCA website for more information on this plant and it's effects on animals.

Yes, tulips are considered poisonous to cats, with the highest concentration of toxins in the bulb. For safety reasons, if your cat is known to eat plants, you should not have tulips inside where your cat can access them. Signs of intoxication include vomiting and hypersalivation.

Most of the poison is in the bulb. Tulips are mildly poisonous and may cause profuse drooling, vomiting, or even diarrhea to cats and dogs. The leaves are not very poisonous.
