My 4-month labradoodle ate ilex berries and is vomiting. What to do?

Question

4 month old labradoodle has eaten berries from possibly ilex or butchers broom. He's been sick three times, so hopefully brought everything up. Do we need to do anything more to help him?

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Ilex can cause toxicity that is usually limited to GI signs (vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc). If your dog is now happy and running and playing and eating normally, then I wouldn't do anything else. If he is still vomiting, not eating, or seems sore in his abdomen, then he likely needs medications to help with his toxicity, and if vomiting and diarrhea is severe he might need IV fluids. If he is still unwell 1 hour after ingesting the plants, and not wanting to eat, then I would bring him to a vet right away. Best of luck with your little one, I hope he is feeling better.
