No, goats should not have daffodils. Daffodils are poisonous to goats.
Daffodils, along with other bulbous plants, contain toxins that can be harmful, even fatal, to goats if ingested. All parts of the daffodil plant, especially the bulb, contain alkaloids like lycorine which is toxic to goats.
If a goat consumes daffodils, it can exhibit a range of symptoms, including:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Drooling
- Weakness
- Convulsions
- Cardiac arrhythmia
- Difficulty breathing
In severe cases, daffodil poisoning can lead to death. It is important to keep daffodils and other poisonous plants out of areas accessible to goats. Provide goats with safe and appropriate forage.
If you suspect your goat has ingested daffodils, contact your veterinarian immediately.
