- The corkscrew willow is a natural source of salicylate, a compound used to make aspirin. While safe in small doses, large quantities can be toxic to dogs.
- Early signs of salicylate poisoning from corkscrew willow ingestion include loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea.
- Without proper treatment, salicylate poisoning can impact a dog's central nervous system, leading to adverse reactions such as mobility issues, weakness, and even collapse.
