- Monitor your cat for any signs of illness, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or difficulty breathing.
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat shows any of these signs. There are over 350 species of Avonia, and the toxicity of each species depends on the concentration of bufadienolides in the plant. Signs of bufadienolide toxicosis can include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive salivation, cardiac arrhythmias, and even death.
- Bring a sample of the plant to your veterinarian so they can identify it and determine the best course of treatment.
- Keep your cat away from the plant in the future.
