Amaryllis bulbs contain lycorine and are commonly ingested by dogs at Christmas.
The bulb is the most toxic part of this popular indoor and outdoor plant.
Amaryllis contains lycorine, similar to daffodils and hyacinths, plus phenanthridine alkaloids. Symptoms include severe vomiting and, at higher doses, tremors, hypotension and seizures.

Most exposures cause vomiting and diarrhea that resolve with supportive care; large bulb ingestions can cause neurological signs.
