Immediate Actions:
- Keep the cat calm: Avoid startling or agitating the cat.
- Contact your veterinarian: Call your veterinarian’s office immediately for guidance and potential follow-up care.
- Determine the type of rose: Identify whether the rose is a climbing rose or a different type to provide accurate information to your veterinarian.
Potential Effects of Rose Ingestion:
Climbing roses contain varying amounts of toxins, including capsaicin and other irritants. Ingestion can cause a range of symptoms:
- Oral irritation and swelling
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Tremors
- Convulsions
First Aid Measures:
If advised by your veterinarian:
- Rinse the cat’s mouth: Gently tilt the cat’s head back and use a syringe to flush their mouth with clean water.
- Induce vomiting: Only if specifically instructed by your veterinarian, certain substances can be given orally (e.g., hydrogen peroxide) to induce vomiting.
- Administer activated charcoal: Activated charcoal can help absorb toxins in the stomach and intestines.
Do Not:
- Force the cat to vomit unless specifically advised by your veterinarian.
- Give the cat any milk or water as this can worsen vomiting and diarrhea.
- Attempt to treat the cat without consulting a veterinarian.
Veterinary Treatment:
Depending on the severity of the ingestion and the cat’s symptoms, your veterinarian may recommend:
- Intravenous (IV) fluids to prevent dehydration
- Anti-nausea medication to stop vomiting
- Pain relievers
- Antibiotics in case of infection
- Hospitalization for monitoring and intensive care (in severe cases)
Prevention:
- Keep climbing roses and other toxic plants out of reach of cats.
- Use pet-friendly fencing or barriers around potential hazards.
- Educate family members and guests about the dangers of plants for cats.
