My dog ate iris plants, was sick, but is better. Was he poisoned?

Question

Ok Lou ate iris plants and was drooling very bad and very lethargic! He's acting better now playing and eating/drinking! My question is do you think he was poisoned since iris plants are poisonous to dogs? What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 30 lbs

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Iris plants are mildly toxic to dogs, causing lethargy, vomiting, drooling and diarrhea. If he is acting normally now then it is likely that the toxin is out of his system. If you are sure that the plant was an Iris then it should be OK, however if you are unsure of which plant then I would recommend having Lou checked for his kidney function. Best of luck with Lou!
