- Summary
- Pothos (also known as Devil's Ivy, Epipremnum aureum) is a common houseplant that is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses due to insoluble calcium oxalate crystals found throughout all parts of the plant, with the highest concentration in the leaves. When chewed or ingested, these crystals pierce the soft tissues of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract, causing intense irritation and pain. Typical signs include oral pain, pawing at the mouth, swelling of the mouth and tongue, excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing; in rare severe cases, swelling of the throat can cause breathing difficulties.
