My cat ​​ate an “Angrecum”. What should I do?

Angrecum is a genus of orchids that are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Some species of Angrecum are known to be toxic to cats, and if your cat has eaten any part of an Angrecum plant, it is important to take them to the vet immediately.

Symptoms of Angrecum poisoning in cats can include:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Tremors
  • Seizures
  • Respiratory distress
  • Death

Treatment for Angrecum poisoning in cats will depend on the severity of the symptoms. In some cases, your vet may recommend inducing vomiting to remove the plant material from your cat’s stomach. In other cases, your vet may recommend administering activated charcoal to absorb the toxins from the plant. In severe cases, your vet may need to provide supportive care, such as intravenous fluids and oxygen therapy.

It is important to note that not all species of Angrecum are toxic to cats. However, it is always best to err on the side of caution and take your cat to the vet if you are unsure whether or not a particular species of Angrecum is poisonous.
