Yamabuki (Japanese Kerria)
Toxicity to Cats: Mildly toxic
Symptoms of Ingestion:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
First Aid:
1. Induce Vomiting: If ingested within the last hour, induce vomiting by giving your cat 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 5 pounds of body weight. Do not give more than 3 teaspoons.
2. Call Your Veterinarian: Contact your veterinarian immediately. Even though yamabuki is mildly toxic, it’s best to seek professional advice to ensure your cat’s health.
3. Monitor Your Cat: Keep an eye on your cat for symptoms. If any serious symptoms develop, seek veterinary attention immediately.
4. Avoid Milk or Cream: Do not give your cat milk or cream, as this can worsen vomiting and diarrhea.
Important Notes:
- The toxicity of yamabuki in cats can vary depending on the amount ingested and the individual cat’s sensitivity.
- If your cat has a history of stomach problems, heart disease, or other health issues, seek veterinary attention sooner rather than later.
- Keep yamabuki plants out of reach of your cats.
