Symptoms of poisoning include: vomiting, excessive salivation,
diarrhea, sleepiness, shaking or trembling, twitching, staggering, convulsions,
difficulty in breathing, excessive thirst, and paralysis.
If you even think that your guinea pig has eaten something poisonous,
conact your veterinarian immediately. If you can, take the plant that your
pet ate, with you to the vet, and try to identify what the source of the
poison was. Don't induce vomiting unless directed to do so by the vet.
