My cat ​​ate an “Yaburan”. What should I do?

Yaburan (Lantana camara) is a toxic plant that can cause serious health problems in cats, including liver failure, kidney failure, and even death. If your cat has eaten any part of a yaburan plant, it is important to seek veterinary attention immediately.

Symptoms of yaburan poisoning in cats can include:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Lethargy
  • Weakness
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and gums)
  • Seizures
  • Coma

Treatment for yaburan poisoning in cats will depend on the severity of the symptoms. Treatment may include:

  • Activated charcoal to absorb the toxin
  • Intravenous fluids to support the kidneys and liver
  • Medications to control vomiting and diarrhea
  • Liver protectants
  • Kidney protectants
  • Antibiotics to prevent infection

Prognosis for cats with yaburan poisoning is guarded. The sooner treatment is started, the better the chances of survival. However, even with treatment, some cats will not survive.
