If your cat has eaten a large chrysanthemum, it’s important to take immediate action.
Symptoms of Chrysanthemum Poisoning in Cats:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Drooling
- Abdominal pain
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Respiratory distress
- Heart arrhythmias
Steps to Take:
1. Call Your Veterinarian Immediately:
Inform your veterinarian about the situation and follow their instructions. They may advise you to bring your cat to the clinic for treatment.
2. Remove the Plant Material:
If possible, remove any remaining chrysanthemum plant material from your cat’s mouth. Be careful not to put your own fingers in your cat’s mouth.
3. Induce Vomiting (Only if Instructed by Veterinarian):
If your veterinarian instructs you to, you can induce vomiting by giving your cat a small amount (1-2 teaspoons) of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with equal parts water. Use a syringe or dropper to administer the mixture orally. If your cat does not vomit within 10-15 minutes, repeat the dose once.
4. Monitor Your Cat Closely:
Observe your cat for signs of poisoning and call your veterinarian immediately if any symptoms worsen or additional symptoms develop.
5. Provide Supportive Care:
- Keep your cat warm and comfortable.
- Offer small amounts of water to prevent dehydration.
- Do not feed your cat until your veterinarian has examined them.
6. Follow Your Veterinarian’s Instructions:
Your veterinarian will provide specific treatment recommendations based on your cat’s condition. They may prescribe medications, administer fluids, or perform blood tests to monitor liver function.
Prevention:
- Keep chrysanthemum plants and other potentially toxic plants out of reach of your cat.
- Supervise your cat when they are outside or have access to plants.
- Educate children and other family members about the dangers of toxic plants for cats.
