What part of a Japanese Yew is toxic?

My dog just ate about 3 of the berries. Please help.

What part of a Japanese Yew is toxic?
The fleshy red berry is "not" considered toxic. But here is a link with info for you to determine your next course of action! Scroll down to the last line of the link and read!

Added Info: This site however says the seed within the red berry is highly toxic.

Reply:This is what wikipedia says:





''The entire yew bush is toxic enough to kill a horse, save for the fleshy berry surrounding the seed.[1] For dogs, 2/5ths of an oz per 10 pounds of body weight is lethal. It is therefore advisable to keep domestic animals away from the plant.''
Reply:It's the entire plant except for the fruit! Horse and Cow death from 6-8 ingested onces so I would head to the Vet with a dog like yesterday!
Reply:the bark
