If your cat has eaten an arenaria, you should:
- Call your veterinarian immediately. Arenaria is a type of plant that can be toxic to cats, and the severity of the toxicity can depend on the amount of plant ingested. Your veterinarian will be able to assess your cat’s condition and recommend the best course of treatment.
- Bring a sample of the plant with you to the veterinarian. This will help the veterinarian identify the plant and determine the best course of treatment.
- Monitor your cat closely for any symptoms of toxicity. Symptoms of arenaria toxicity can include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, lethargy, and seizures. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Treatment for arenaria toxicity may include:
- Inducing vomiting to remove the plant from your cat’s stomach
- Giving your cat activated charcoal to absorb the toxins
- Providing your cat with fluids to help flush the toxins out of its system
- Monitoring your cat’s vital signs and providing supportive care
Prevention is the best way to protect your cat from arenaria toxicity. Keep arenaria plants out of your home and yard, and supervise your cat when it is outside.
