Symptoms of ingesting golden pothos may include eczema (itchy, red, swollen, irritated skin), burning, inflammation of the mouth, and vomiting. Contact with the sap can also cause dermatitis: an uncomfortable, itchy rash. Although not typically life-threatening to your dog, the leaves of the golden pothos, if ingested, will irritate your dog's mouth and gastrointestinal tract. Chewing the leaves or stems of this plant causes intense irritation of the mouth, tongue, and lips. and results in drooling or vomiting, which in turn may cause dehydration.
