Albuca is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae. It is native to southern Africa. The plant is toxic to cats, and ingestion can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and central nervous system depression. If your cat has eaten an albuca plant, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately.
Treatment for albuca poisoning will depend on the severity of the symptoms. In mild cases, treatment may only involve supportive care, such as providing fluids and electrolytes. In more severe cases, hospitalization and more aggressive treatment, such as administering activated charcoal or performing a gastric lavage, may be necessary.
Prognosis for albuca poisoning is generally good if treatment is started promptly. However, in severe cases, the prognosis may be guarded.
