Expert Response
Thank you for your question about identifying your deadly nightshade plants. I am very sorry to hear your dog was poisoned after eating this plant. We, as Colorado Master Gardeners, cannot give advice that could be considered by the client as medical in nature. This includes poisonous plants.
You can call 520-7690 and ask if there is someone in our El Paso County Extension office who can answer your question.
You can also call the El Paso County Colorado Community Services Department Environmental Division to see if they can provide you with an answer. I suggest calling them first to see if you can email a picture or bring in a sample.
