ToxicDeadly. Colchicine damages every organ.
Not the harmless spring crocus: the autumn one (Colchicum) is the dangerous plant. All parts, especially the bulb.
What to watch for
Bloody vomiting and diarrhea, weakness, organ failure over days.
If they ate it
Emergency: vet now.
Toxic for dogs means: do not give it; if they ate it, call your vet or a poison line.
