Assessment and Actions:
1. Assess the Situation:
- Determine if the cat has ingested the plant. Look for signs of eating, such as chewed leaves or vomiting.
- Identify the type of aeonium consumed (e.g., Aeonium arboreum, Aeonium tabuliforme).
2. Contact a Veterinary Professional Immediately:
- Call your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) (888-426-4435).
- Provide them with information about the plant type, amount ingested, and the cat’s symptoms (if any).
3. Induce Vomiting (Only if Instructed by a Vet):
- If instructed by a veterinarian, induce vomiting by giving your cat hydrogen peroxide or ipecac syrup. However, never induce vomiting if the cat is already vomiting or has a respiratory condition.
4. Monitor the Cat’s Condition:
- Monitor the cat’s vital signs, such as breathing, heart rate, and temperature.
- Watch for any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or difficulty breathing.
5. Seek Medical Attention if Needed:
- If the cat shows any signs of distress or poisoning, transport it to the nearest veterinary clinic immediately.
6. Follow Vet’s Instructions:
- Follow the instructions of your veterinarian regarding any further treatment or monitoring.
Potential Symptoms of Aeonium Poisoning in Cats:

Note:
- Aeonium plants contain saponins, which can be mildly toxic to cats. The severity of the toxicity depends on the amount ingested.
- Treatment is usually supportive and symptomatic.
- Recovery time depends on the severity of the poisoning and the individual cat.
