Calamondins, while not as toxic as some other citrus fruits, can still cause stomach upset in cats. Here’s what you should do:
Monitor your cat closely. Look for signs of vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, or pawing at the mouth, which could indicate irritation.
If the amount eaten was small and your cat shows no symptoms, you can likely monitor them at home. Provide plenty of fresh water to encourage hydration.
If your cat:
- Ate a large amount of the calamondin (fruit or leaves)
- Vomits repeatedly
- Develops diarrhea
- Shows any other concerning symptoms
Take them to the veterinarian immediately. Call your vet or an emergency animal hospital to explain the situation and get their advice. They may recommend inducing vomiting to remove any remaining calamondin, or provide other treatment depending on the severity.
