My cat ate an “christmas rose”. What should I do?

Symptoms to watch for:

Steps to take:

Call your veterinarian immediately. They will be able to provide the best advice based on your cat’s symptoms and the amount of the plant that was ingested.
Induce vomiting if directed by your veterinarian. This can be done by giving your cat a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide or by inserting your finger into the back of their throat.
Give your cat activated charcoal. This can help to absorb the toxins from the plant.
Monitor your cat closely for symptoms. If your cat’s symptoms worsen or they develop any new symptoms, seek veterinary attention immediately.

Prevention:

Keep your cat away from all parts of the Christmas rose plant.
If you have any Christmas roses in your home, be sure to place them out of reach of your cat.
If you think your cat may have ingested any part of the plant, call your veterinarian immediately.
