Signs that your dog may have tasted the Christmas tree: Excessive drooling Shaking head or pawing at mouth Vomiting Diarrhea Irritated mouth Not wanting to eat Lethargy Weakness Dogs are more likely to experience stomach upset and other  issues if they eat a large amount of the Christmas tree  (or lick up a bunch of sap).
