Lychnis coronaria, also known as rose campion, is a member of the Caryophyllaceae family, which also includes carnations and dianthus. While some members of this family are toxic to cats, Lychnis coronaria is not considered to be toxic.
If your cat has eaten Lychnis coronaria, you should observe them for any signs of illness. These may include:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
- Depression
If your cat shows any of these signs, you should take them to the vet immediately.
Treatment for Lychnis coronaria poisoning will depend on the severity of the symptoms. In mild cases, treatment may simply involve supportive care, such as providing plenty of fluids and a bland diet. In more severe cases, hospitalization and IV fluids may be necessary.
Prevention is always the best way to protect your cat from poisoning. Keep all potentially toxic plants out of your home, and be sure to supervise your cat when they are outside.
