Immediate Actions:
- Call your veterinarian immediately: Do not hesitate to contact your vet, even if your cat does not show immediate signs of poisoning.
- Induce vomiting (if possible): If your cat ingested Massonia within the last 2 hours, you may try to induce vomiting by giving them 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 5 pounds of body weight. Administer orally using a syringe without the needle.
Monitoring and Treatment:
- Monitor your cat’s condition: Observe your cat for any symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, lethargy, tremors, or seizures.
- Bring a sample of the plant: If possible, take a sample of the Massonia plant to your veterinarian for identification.
- Follow veterinary instructions: Your vet will provide specific instructions for treatment, including:
- Administering activated charcoal (to absorb toxins)
- Providing intravenous fluids (to prevent dehydration)
- Administering antiemetics (to stop vomiting)
- Prescribing antibiotics (if there is a secondary infection)
- Monitoring your cat’s liver and kidney function
Important Notes:
- Massonia species contain saponins, which can cause poisoning in cats. Symptoms may range from mild discomfort to severe neurological problems and even death.
- Do not give your cat any other home remedies without consulting your veterinarian.
- Keep all plants out of reach of cats to prevent accidental ingestion.
- The prognosis for Massonia poisoning depends on the amount ingested and the promptness of treatment.
