Contact your local library and ask to speak to the reference desk. They will be happy to look up any information for you and call you back. Just give them the name of the plant and ask if it is toxic. It may take them a while to find out the information, but in my opinion it's better to ask and be sure than to have an adverse reaction later and a trip to the vet.
