Hello AMERICANI,

first, I´m very sorry for your loss - hoping that your Elsa will recover really soon.

Concerning your question...please descibe the symptoms more closely, that may help to figure out whether it was a plant/herb or poisening by intention.

Nevertheless, you live in Italia, that´s right? I´ve learnd that in some parts of Italy it is not that uncommon that people lay out/throw poisened meat balls or stomaches of smaller vertebra filled with a mixture of strychnine and locally used pestizites. The Problem is that many Vets cannot help an animal who ate one of these as it is difficult to figure out what exactly has been mixed into them.
Strychnine itself is quite common poison used even by "hunters" in at least one part of Italia. Many dogs die that way....which is horrible!
Which Region do you live in?

regards,
koboldine
