• Autumn Crocuses

    They occur throughout the United States.  All parts of the plant are toxic but the highest concentration of the toxin is found in the flower, the corm and the seeds.  Clinical signs may take 12-24 hrs to develop and initially occur as hypersalivation, depression, vomiting, milky or bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain.  Multiple organ failure can occur.  Prognosis is guarded.
