Amadokoro (starch lily) is a poisonous plant to cats. If your cat has eaten an Amadokoro plant, you should:
- Stay calm. Panicking will not help your cat.
- Call your veterinarian immediately. They will be able to advise you on what to do and may need to see your cat for treatment.
- Bring a sample of the plant with you to the vet, if possible. This will help them to identify the plant and determine the best course of treatment.
- Monitor your cat closely for any signs of toxicity, such as:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by your veterinarian.
Treatment for Amadokoro poisoning may include:
- Activated charcoal to absorb the toxin
- Intravenous fluids to support hydration
- Anti-nausea medication
- Pain medication
- Monitoring for complications
Prognosis for Amadokoro poisoning depends on the amount of plant ingested and how quickly treatment is sought. With prompt treatment, most cats recover within a few days. However, in severe cases, Amadokoro poisoning can be fatal.
Prevention is the best way to protect your cat from Amadokoro poisoning. Keep these plants out of your home and yard, and supervise your cat when they are outdoors.
