Immediate Actions:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately. They can provide professional medical advice and treatment.
- Induce vomiting if possible. This can be done by giving the cat a small amount of hydrogen peroxide (2-3 mL diluted in 1-2 teaspoons of water) orally. Do not induce vomiting if the cat is unconscious or has difficulty breathing.
- Restrict access to food and water for 12-24 hours. This allows the cat’s digestive system to rest and prevents further absorption of toxins.
Monitoring and Treatment:
- Monitor your cat’s vital signs. This includes temperature, heart rate, and breathing.
- Observe for signs of poisoning: These can include vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, lethargy, weakness, and seizures.
- Seek immediate veterinary attention if any of these signs occur.

Treatment may involve:
- Activated charcoal to absorb toxins
- IV fluids to correct dehydration
- Anti-nausea medication
- Medications to support heart and respiratory function
Specific to Abutilon Poisoning:
- Abutilon contains a toxin called cyanogenic glycosides. These compounds can release cyanide when ingested, which can be fatal in high doses.
- However, the amount of cyanide present in abutilon is typically low. The majority of cases of abutilon poisoning in cats result in only mild symptoms, such as gastrointestinal upset.
- If your cat has ingested a large amount of abutilon, or is showing severe symptoms, immediate veterinary attention is crucial.
Prevention:
- Keep abutilon plants out of reach of cats.
- If your cat has access to abutilon, supervise them closely and remove any chewed leaves or stems.
- Educate family members and children about the dangers of abutilon for pets.
Prognosis:
- The prognosis for abutilon poisoning in cats depends on the amount of toxin ingested and the severity of symptoms.
- With prompt treatment, most cats make a full recovery.
