Mountain Laural, Rhodenderon... and Rhubarb...
I've had a nasty run-in with Rhubarb.. not sure if anyone remembers my posts a year or two more ago when my boys got into it and the doe. I had to drench with Maylox every 2 hrs and the horrible bloat, ect passed after 24-36hrs. Forgot my exact recipe for treating that and preventing the ____somthing___ oxelates which are formed from Ruharb poisoning that slice the liver, and or kidneys... can't remember it exactly.. not good anyhow. (leaves only).
As a general rule of thumb.. It dosnt matter if its a good plant, bad one, expensive one, neighbors one, or anything else, if they can reach it, its 0-to-rumen in less then 60 seconds :-)
