If your cat has ingested Adenium, it is crucial to act quickly as it can be toxic to cats.
Symptoms of Adenium Toxicity in Cats:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Excessive thirst and urination
- Confusion
- Seizures
- Tremors
- Heart problems
Steps to Take:
1. Call Your Veterinarian Immediately:
Inform the veterinarian about the ingestion and provide as much information as possible, including the type of plant, the amount consumed, and the cat’s weight.
2. Induce Vomiting (Only if Directed by Veterinarian):
If instructed by the veterinarian, induce vomiting using hydrogen peroxide (3%) in a 1 ml per kilogram of body weight dose. Administer it orally every 5-15 minutes until vomiting occurs. Do not induce vomiting if the cat is unconscious or having seizures.
3. Give Activated Charcoal (Only if Directed by Veterinarian):
Activated charcoal can absorb the toxin. The veterinarian will provide specific instructions on how much and how often to administer it.
4. Transport to Veterinary Clinic:
If vomiting cannot be induced or the cat is showing severe symptoms, transport the cat to a veterinary clinic immediately.
Treatment at the Veterinary Clinic:
- Intravenous Fluids: To correct dehydration and support kidney function.
- Anti-Nausea Medication: To control vomiting.
- Cardiac Support: If heart problems develop.
- Monitoring: The cat will be closely monitored for vital signs, symptoms, and response to treatment.
Prevention:
- Keep Adenium plants out of reach of cats.
- If you suspect your cat has ingested any part of an Adenium plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Remember, time is of the essence in treating Adenium toxicity in cats. Prompt veterinary attention can increase the chances of a positive outcome.
