My dog ate Amydrium Medium Silver — what to do

Step by step

  1. Take amydrium medium silver away and remove any plant material from your dog's mouth so they cannot eat more.
  2. Note roughly how much was eaten and when — this helps the vet judge the risk.
  3. Do NOT induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist tells you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 (a consultation fee may apply) and follow their advice.
  5. Watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or lethargy, and bring a leaf or photo to the appointment.

This is general guidance, not veterinary advice. Pets vary, and a reaction may be to soil, fertiliser, or pesticide as well as the plant. When in doubt, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435.

My dog ate amydrium medium silver — FAQ

Is amydrium medium silver poisonous to dogs?

Yes — the ASPCA lists Amydrium Medium Silver (Amydrium medium 'Silver') as toxic to dogs. Amydrium medium 'Silver' is not individually listed in the ASPCA toxic/non-toxic plant database, and no member of the genus Amydrium is listed, so a definitive ASPCA rating is unavailable. As a true aroid (Araceae) it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals like its ASPCA-listed relatives (Monstera, Philodendron, Pothos), which can cause oral irritation, drooling and vomiting if chewed. Treat as not pet-safe, keep away from cats and dogs, and verify with your vet.

How serious is it if my dog ate amydrium medium silver?

Amydrium Medium Silver is toxic to dogs and reactions can be significant, so treat any ingestion as urgent. Call your vet or poison control on (888) 426-4435 straight away rather than waiting to see if symptoms develop.
