Immediate Actions:
- Call a veterinarian immediately. Provide the veterinary clinic with as much information as possible, including the type of plant, how much the cat consumed, and when it happened.
- Induce vomiting (only if instructed by a veterinarian). This may help remove any remaining plant material from the cat’s stomach. Do not induce vomiting if the cat is unconscious, has seizures, or is struggling to breathe.
