Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) is toxic to cats.

Symptoms of Tuberose Poisoning in Cats

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Lethargy
  • Weakness
  • Tremors
  • Seizures
  • Respiratory distress
  • Cardiac arrest

What to Do If Your Cat Eats Tuberose

1. Call your veterinarian immediately.

2. While waiting for the vet:

  • Restrict your cat’s access to tuberose plants and flowers.
  • Do not induce vomiting unless directed by your veterinarian.
  • Give your cat plenty of water to help flush the toxin from its system.
  • Keep your cat calm and quiet.

3. At the veterinary clinic:

  • Your veterinarian will examine your cat and perform blood tests to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Treatment will depend on the severity of the poisoning and may include:
    • Activated charcoal to absorb the toxin
    • Intravenous fluids to flush the toxin from the system
    • Anti-vomiting medication
    • Anti-diarrhea medication
    • Pain medication
    • Oxygen therapy

4. Prognosis:

  • The prognosis for cats that ingest tuberose depends on the amount they eat and how quickly they receive treatment.
  • With prompt veterinary care, most cats make a full recovery.

Prevention

  • Keep tuberose plants and flowers out of reach of your cat.
  • If you have tuberose plants in your yard, supervise your cat when it is outdoors.
  • Teach your cat the “leave it” command to prevent it from eating things that are harmful.
