|
| *Tremors

| *Excessive salivation or drooling
| |
| *Depression
| |
| *Lethargy
| |
| *Ataxia (a lack of control and coordination of the body)
| |
| *Paresis (weakness of the muscles and partial paralysis)
| |

| The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association stated that clinical signs of toxicity develop within a 2-12 hour window of exposure to or ingestion of tea tree oil. They also note that 100% of the tea tree oil poisoning cases in this study had some level of toxicity.
