Rhialto walked over to side of yard yesterday and ate a bit of the ivy below.
The leaf has the same shape as english ivy but it does not have visible viens on the upper surface, they are just a flat dull green.

whatever this ivy is, eating it didn't seem to do any lasting harm
Rhialto is acting normal again

finally figured out that this is "Creeping Cucumber"
aka Melothria pendula
grows in bright sun over the ground, has fruit that looks like miniature watermelons proceeded w yellow flowers
