Petrea volubilis is a plant that is toxic to cats. If your cat has eaten any part of this plant, you should call your veterinarian immediately. Symptoms of petrea poisoning in cats can include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, lethargy, and seizures. In severe cases, petrea poisoning can be fatal.
Treatment for petrea poisoning will depend on the severity of the symptoms. Your veterinarian may recommend inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal to absorb the toxins, or providing IV fluids to support your cat’s hydration. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary.
Preventing petrea poisoning is the best way to protect your cat. Keep petrea plants out of reach of your cat, and be sure to supervise your cat when they are outdoors. If you think your cat may have eaten any part of a petrea plant, call your veterinarian immediately.
