There are numerous plants commonly used here that bear fruit that is toxic and if ingested can cause the symptoms you describe.
Holly berries and sago fruit are two I can think of... the fruits are small and can drop to the ground. Curious doggies may sample them. Even a few berries can have a powerful effect.
A few of my dog owning neighbors had these plants and eliminated them. When their dogs are on leash, they keep them from rooting around in deep foliaged areas.
This may not be your problem, but is something to consider.
Hope your pup will be okay.

Good post.
Also, no matter where one lives........any type of bug spray such as for carpenter ants or whatever............can be toxic and fatal to cats and dogs. I would also think chemicals that are used to treat lawns.
p.s. We had a beloved cat die after going into a seizure. He had been jumping up and down by the atrium doors and sliding doors chasing flies.
Unfortunately, my husband had sprayed for ants in that vicinity...........the vet told us it was the ant spray.
