If you suspect your cat has eaten evening primrose, take the following steps:
1. Contact Your Veterinarian Immediately:
- Call your veterinarian or the nearest veterinary emergency clinic.
- Provide them with as much information as possible, including the amount and type of evening primrose consumed, the cat’s weight, and any symptoms observed.
2. Induce Vomiting (If Instructed by Vet):
- If advised by your veterinarian, induce vomiting within the first 2 hours of ingestion.
- Use 3% hydrogen peroxide diluted in equal parts water (1 tablespoon each).
- Give the solution to the cat orally (1 teaspoon per 5 pounds of body weight).
- Repeat every 10-15 minutes until vomiting occurs.
3. Monitor Your Cat Closely:
- Observe your cat for any symptoms, such as:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Difficulty breathing
- Seizures
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if any of these symptoms develop.
4. Administer Activated Charcoal (If Available):
- If activated charcoal is available, give your cat a dose of 1 gram per kilogram of body weight (1/2 gram per pound).
- Mix the charcoal with water and administer it orally or through a stomach tube.
5. Provide Supportive Care:
- Keep your cat warm and comfortable.
- Offer small amounts of water frequently.
- Monitor the cat’s vital signs (temperature, heart rate, respiration).
Additional Information:
- Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is generally considered non-toxic to cats in small amounts.
- However, large doses can cause gastrointestinal upset and other side effects.
- The seeds of the evening primrose plant contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which can be toxic to cats in high doses.
