Agrostemma Species (Corn Cockle, Rose Campion)
Toxic Components: Saponins (glycoside compounds)
Clinical Signs in Cats:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Drooling
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal pain
- Weakness
- Respiratory distress (in severe cases)
Treatment:
1. Remove the Source of Poison:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately.
- If possible, identify and remove any remaining plant material from your cat’s environment.
2. Decontamination:
- If your cat ingested the plant recently (within 1-2 hours), your veterinarian may induce vomiting to remove any remaining material in the stomach.
- Activated charcoal may also be administered to absorb any toxins in the digestive tract.
3. Supportive Care:
- Monitor your cat’s vital signs (temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate) closely.
- Provide fluids intravenously or subcutaneously to prevent dehydration if necessary.
- Treat any clinical signs as they arise, such as vomiting or diarrhea.
4. Specific Antidotes:
- There is no specific antidote for agrostemma poisoning in cats.
Prognosis:
- The prognosis depends on the amount of plant ingested and the severity of the clinical signs.
- Most cats recover fully with prompt treatment.
- However, severe respiratory distress or systemic toxicity can lead to complications.
Other Important Notes:
- Keep agrostemma plants out of reach of cats.
- If you suspect your cat has eaten any poisonous plant, do not delay in seeking veterinary attention.
- Early intervention can greatly improve the chances of a successful recovery.
