Poor Jax - VERY sick from horrible toxic plant

[Holly (Jax & Bandit)]

If anyone has a Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow plant pull it up right away. Jax ate some of the berries and is very sick. He is in the ICU for 2-7 days. This plant is a very potent neurotoxin. Within 4 hours of eating this plant, Jax was very unsteady on his feet, was panting heavily and shaking his head every few seconds. He couldn't walk a straight line. His spine became curved and his back legs wouldn't work properly. Hopefully Jax will recover and have no lasting ill effects - however, the vet couldn't guarantee anything. Just wanted to let everyone know in case they had this plant in their yard.

So, how is Jax doing?  I came here to find out and no new information.  We are thinking about him.

[Holly (Jax & Bandit)]

Jax is doing great!  After a day home where he was wobbly, tired and unsteady on his feet, he has made a full recovery.  He is running, jumping and playing with Bandit.  It made me very happy to see him leap up 3 steps at once this morning.  I think he is a very lucky puppy and I am a very lucky doodle mom :)

This is a nice ending to a scary story.

That is fantastic.  So glad it all worked out and he is back to normal.  Very scary stuff you went through.  Hold him tight and give him lots of hugs and kisses!!

Thank you so much for letting us know how well Jax has recovered! I can imagine you are beside yourself with joy and gratitude. congratulations.

YEAH!  Just read the post and I am sooo very happy for you and your family.  I had a long conversation with my daughter this morning about the many things dogs and puppies can eat that are dangerous and I used Jax as an example.  I am soooo very happy that he is well and running around!!!  YEAH JAX!  By the way, Jax was a strong contender for a name when we named our puppy.  We ended up naming him something else but I still love the name JAX :-)

Keeping Jax in our thoughts and prayers... very scary.  I hope he is better real soon!

I'm very glad to hear he is ok..

 

This plant was actually on my I want to get list for my backyard, You can garantee it's no longer on that list.. Thank you for the warning..

[BG and Gavin]

Oh thank goodness for a good outcome.  You will probably sleep for three days straight now.

I am just checking in now and so very happy to see that Jax is recovering well. I'm really delighted for you after such a dreadful ordeal.
