If your cat has eaten any part of a Bibi tree (Pittosporum tobira), you should act immediately as this plant is toxic to cats and can cause significant health problems.

Steps to Take:

  1. Call your veterinarian or animal poison control immediately. Explain the situation and provide as much information as possible, including:

    • The time and amount of plant ingested
    • Any symptoms your cat is experiencing
    • Your cat’s breed, age, and weight
  2. Induce vomiting: Under the guidance of a veterinarian, you may be instructed to induce vomiting to remove the plant material from your cat’s stomach. Use hydrogen peroxide or another veterinary-approved emetic. Do not induce vomiting if your cat is unconscious, having seizures, or having difficulty breathing.

  3. Bring your cat to the veterinarian: Take your cat to the veterinarian immediately, even if they are not showing any obvious symptoms. The veterinarian will examine your cat, administer any necessary treatments, and monitor their condition.

  4. Treatment: Treatment for Bibi tree poisoning depends on the severity of the symptoms and may include:

    • Activated charcoal to absorb the toxins
    • Intravenous fluids to keep your cat hydrated
    • Medications to control vomiting, diarrhea, or seizures
    • Oxygen therapy

Symptoms of Bibi Tree Poisoning in Cats:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Lethargy
  • Weakness
  • Depression
  • Seizures
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Cyanosis (blue gums)

Prevention:

  • Keep Bibi trees out of your home and yard, or place them in a location where your cat cannot access them.
  • Supervise your cat when they are outside to prevent them from eating potentially toxic plants.
  • Be aware of the plants in your neighborhood and avoid those that are known to be toxic to cats.

Note: It is important to note that the toxic dose of Bibi tree for cats is unknown, but even small amounts can be harmful. If you suspect your cat has eaten any part of a Bibi tree, seek veterinary attention immediately.
