OSoSwift Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Just a thought as we have one of these trees that has started dropping berries everywhere over the last couple of weeks - they are pretty toxic I believe ;) Got any of these nearby? http://www.delange.org/ChinaBerry/ChinaBerry.htm They look very similar to the trees we have here that we call Lilacs. I have been told the berries are toxic and have researched and been told that one can cause a problem, to they need to eat lots! Lewis has a particular attraction to them and I am always teling him off when he goes near them. He has eaten the odd one here and there because he is so determined and had no detrimental side effects. I still try to stop him eating them and if he is caught with one in his mouth he will generally spit it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilly Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We use Inner Health Plus (human from the chemist) probiotics - it can be used with antibiotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemesideways Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 How is he doing now?? He is doing well! I have a feeling it was the water bucket at St Ives Oval... We where there the day before, and 2 of my friends dog who where with me also got ill. Not as bad as Rover though. Rover inhales water though, none of the other dogs drink nearly as much.

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Like lilacs Is Privet? Privet is often used as root stock for lilacs. Personally I think it should all be ripped out and destroyed. It's a source of allergic reactions, rashes and weeds. http://www.homelife.com.au/life+ideas/spri...+gardening,3818 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
