Monitor Your Cat
- Observe your cat for any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or difficulty breathing.
Call Your Veterinarian
- If your cat shows any symptoms, call your veterinarian immediately for guidance.
Potential Issues
- Bok choy contains glucosinolates, which can be toxic to cats when consumed in large quantities.
- These compounds can cause gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea), urinary tract irritation, and respiratory issues.
First Aid
- If your cat has only eaten a small amount of bok choy and is not showing any symptoms:
- Provide plenty of fresh water.
- Monitor your cat closely for any changes in behavior.
Long-Term Effects
- The effects of bok choy ingestion in cats vary depending on the amount consumed and the individual cat’s health.
- In most cases, cats will recover without long-term problems. However, in severe cases, it can lead to kidney failure or other complications.
Prevention
- Keep bok choy and other potentially toxic plants out of your cat’s reach.
- If you suspect your cat has eaten a toxic substance, seek veterinary attention promptly.
