Immediate Actions:
- Call your veterinarian immediately: Inform them that your cat ate linum and provide them with the following information:
- Type of linum
- Amount consumed
- Time of consumption
-
Cat’s age, weight, and overall health
-
Induce vomiting (if directed by your veterinarian): Only do this if specifically instructed by your veterinarian. Use hydrogen peroxide (3%), given orally at a dose of 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight. Repeat every 10-15 minutes for up to 3 doses or until vomiting occurs.
-
Monitor your cat closely: Observe for any signs of distress, such as:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Tremors
- Seizures
Treatment:
The specific treatment will depend on the type of linum ingested and the severity of the poisoning. Your veterinarian may recommend:
- Activated charcoal: To absorb any remaining linum in the digestive tract
- Intravenous fluids: To help flush out the linum and prevent dehydration
- Medication: To treat any associated symptoms, such as vomiting or seizures
- Hospitalization: For severe poisonings or if close monitoring is necessary
Types of Linum:
- Flaxseed meal: Generally safe for cats in small amounts. However, excessive consumption can cause digestive upset.
- Linseed oil: Can cause gastrointestinal problems in cats.
- Castor oil: Contains ricin, a toxic substance that can be harmful to cats.
Prevention:
- Keep all types of linum products out of reach of cats.
- Supervise your cat when outside, as they may ingest plants that contain linum.
- If you suspect your cat has eaten linum, seek veterinary attention immediately.
