Call your veterinarian immediately. Hellebore argutifolius is poisonous to cats and can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Hyperactivity
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Death
The severity of the symptoms will depend on the amount of the plant that the cat ate. If you catch it early, your veterinarian may be able to induce vomiting to remove the plant from the cat’s stomach. They may also give your cat activated charcoal to help absorb the toxins. If the cat has already absorbed the toxins, your veterinarian will provide supportive care to help manage the symptoms.
Do not try to treat your cat at home. Hellebore argutifolius is a dangerous plant, and it is important to seek professional help if your cat has eaten it.
