My dog had seizures after eating roots. What toxic plants cause this?

Question

My dog has been digging up roots I don’t know what kind of roots they were but she eats them and then they caused her to have seizures, and she’s never had seizure before and they’ve stopped after we stopped her from eating the roots I was wondering if you know what kind of roots it may be so we can avoid them.

I am afraid many toxic plants can cause that, so it is not possible to tell you what kind of plant that was. A photo of the plant, leaves, flower and root would help with the identification. Best either stop access of your dog to this plant (fence it) or remove the plant so he cannot eat more of it.
