Holly leaves and berries cause mouth injury and gastrointestinal upset.
The spiny leaves can lacerate the mouth and esophagus, and the berries contain toxic saponins.
Holly contains saponins, methylxanthines and cyanogens in its berries and leaves. The spines on the leaves frequently cause oral trauma — drooling, head shaking and vomiting that includes plant material with sharp edges.

A few berries cause GI signs; ingestion of larger amounts (10+ berries) warrants veterinary care.
Contacte de inmediato con su veterinario o con una línea de emergencia de intoxicaciones para animales. No provoque el vómito a menos que se lo indique un veterinario.
